Lucius reveals that Harry only saw a dream of Sirius being tortured; it was a method to lure Harry into the Death Eaters' grasp, not an actual situation. Lucius attempts to persuade Harry to give him the prophecy, telling him it will reveal why Voldemort couldn't kill Harry when he was an infant.
Voldemort wanting Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy, therefore planting a false vision in Harry Potter's mind in of Sirius Black being tortured in order to lure him to the Department of Mysteries.
Sirius is recognized for his unwavering loyalty and love for his friends and Harry. He loves Harry, and his affection is generous. He was devoted to James, Lily, Remus, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Gryffindor, and the Order.
As a result, the Ministry abandons its stance that Voldemort has not returned, and Dumbledore is trusted once more. He, in turn, persuades the Minister that Sirius is innocent. By the following book, Sirius is exonerated; unfortunately, it is far too late.

Did everyone find out Sirius was good?
Not proven innocent, but after his death, the Ministry did realize that Sirius was in fact innocent, and he was posthumously cleared of all charges. However, in life, Sirius was a wanted man from the moment he escaped Azkaban until the time of his death.
Did Remus Lupin know Sirius Black was innocent throughout The Prisoner of Azkaban? No. He suspected Sirius until the end of the year, when he spotted Peter on the Marauder's Map. It was at that point that he put it all together and realized what had happened, and that Sirius was innocent.
Draco, who implies that he is aware of how Sirius Black was supposedly involved in the deaths of Harry's parents, also taunts Harry about the impending threat of Black: "If it was me, I'd want revenge. I'd hunt him down myself."

Family. Snape's family background is mostly shown in flashbacks during the course of the last three novels. Snape was born to Eileen Prince, a witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood (hence the name, "Half-Blood Prince").
Harry is visibly upset about Sirius's death. Dumbledore tells Harry this pain is his greatest strength. Dumbledore admits it's his own fault that Sirius is dead because he never told Harry the whole truth about his scar.
What would have happened if Harry lived with Sirius?
Therefore, if Harry had gone to live with Sirius while he was still underage, he would not be safe from Voldemort. The miserable years he spent with the Dursleys would have been for nothing and he would be without the protective shield of his mother's blood.
Then there was Sirius' relationship with Harry. He was the father figure that Harry so desperately needed. For one of the first times in his life, Harry experienced what it was like to be unconditionally loved and that family doesn't necessarily mean your blood relatives.
Upon the dais is a stone archway, covered with a tattered black veil. Sirius is hit by Bellatrix's curse, and his stunned body arcs into the air and floats through the archway, disappearing behind the veil. Harry expects Sirius to reappear on the other side, but he never does.
Either through eavesdropping or being deliberately told, Draco knows that Sirius could turn into a black dog and uses the information to torment Harry. In later chapters we see that Sirius was known to be in the area due to Lucius recognizing Sirius's dog form.
Because Dumbledore had no idea that the Potters changed Secret Keepers from Black to Pettigrew. Therefore, Dumbledore had no reason to believe that Sirius was innocent and no reason to try and help him.
Originally Answered: Did Bellatrix feel sorry for killing Sirius? Bellatrix isn't sad about killing Sirius. She taunts Harry about it. Far from showing remorse for killing Sirius, she next stalks her niece, Nymphadora Tonks.
Sirius Black was believed to be the Potters' Secret Keeper, but he secretly switched with Peter Pettigrew, who turned out to be a mole. James' bullying behavior at Hogwarts and his relationship with Peter contributed to the tragic events that led to the Potters' deaths and the rise of Harry Potter's story.
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use. He has tons of happy memories... He had an amazing childhood. However, she also said Snape was the only Death Eater who could produce a Patronus.
She did not. Till the end of Goblet of Fire, the only 'good guys' who knew Sirius Black was innocent were Albus Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Of course, Voldemort knew that Sirius was innocent and Peter Pettigrew was guilty.
Following Voldemort's fall, Snape made no attempt to find his master, for he, like other Death Eaters, believed that Voldemort was dead, and he could use Dumbledore's protection to avoid being sent to Azkaban.
Weasely and Harry, Sirius ends up being innocent. If he had not been, Harry's time at Hogwarts would have been cut agonizingly short. But Molly did not know (and doesn't find out until far later) that Sirius is innocent, and therefore places him in danger by refusing to protect Harry by telling him the truth.
He considered it a flaw in his plan and he never expected it, but he did end up caring for Harry. It made it difficult for Dumbledore. He had to fight his own morality and ethics knowing it was the only way to beat Voldemort, and he ultimately sacrificed his own life for that cause as well.
