Legend has stereotyped him somewhat into a romantic hero, and he is generally known più for his Amore for Catherine Earnshaw than his final years of vengeance in the secondo half of the novel, in which he grows into a bitter, haunted man (although there are also a number of incidents in Heathcliff's early life that mostra that he was an angry and sometimes malicious individual from the beginning; again, these tend to be glossed over in the popolare imagination). His complicated, mesmerising and altogether bizarre nature makes him a rare character, with components of both the hero and villain.
Sirius Black, nicknamed Padfoot, is the last heir to the House of Black, a once notable pure-blood Wizarding family. He is the brother of Regulus Arcturus Black and a cousin of Bellatrix Lestrange. He rejected his family's pure-blood elitism and reverence for the Dark Arts. In contrast to his home life, Sirius greatly enjoyed life at Hogwarts. He was proud of the fact that he was the only Black to be sorted into Gryffindor. He was inseparable from his best friend James 'Prongs' Potter and befriended Remus 'Moony' Lupin and Peter 'Wormtail' Pettigrew.
