Oh, I loved who you connected the very few things we know about Phineas to one touching story about two brothers! A tragic story, as well, and from the very beginning I knew there was no hope for Sirius... Phineas' belief is touching, but the viewpoint is also very subjective. But the broom gives proof to his belief and Phineas might have been right about Sirius being a wizard. Which only highlights the tragic behind the story. It's good that you mention that Perseus was punished, I doubt they would've accepted it just like that. And the mentions of their mother who obviously loved Sirius. I like the new rule in the end. The wands never seemed so expensive to me considering everything else, so why did they force Ron and Neville to carry the old ones? Even though both produced lesser results at Hogwarts? The Weasleys did it, one can argue, because of the money and I think in Neville's case the explanation was to honour his father. Still, it never made really sense to me. I would support this ruling, no doubt.
