He finds some papers scattered around.Among them is a photograph of Sirius, Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and James Potter.
Harry explores the rest of the house to take his mind off things, and ends up in Sirius's room, still full of his adolescent artifacts.He mulls over the mystery of Dumbledore – who was the man, really?
