Sirius glances at Remus in fear, but then remembers the excuse they’d given to the lawyer. "After James and Lily, we were both out of it. We—myself especially—weren’t in the right state to take care of a child. Harry’s godmother has a son of her own, Harry’s age, and at the time had been perfectly capable of taking care of Harry. We let him go, but he’d been given to Lily’s sister instead. We didn’t know for the longest time, too caught up in our grief. Alice—Harry’s godmother—is unfortunately unable to parent anymore, and it was only until we found Lily’s will recently that we were able to prove that he should never have gone to Petunia in the first place."
