True, the writing of Dumbledore (and in general) was completely off the mark in PoA.
Sirius was off the mark too.
I was fuming when they had Sirius show Harry the Order photo instead of Mad Eye.
Mad Eye does it because he in insensitive and thinks Harry seeing a photo of his mum and dad and the rest of the order - which he has just joined - with a commentary of "dead, dead, oh they found bits of him, dead, dead, evil, dead..." will be a treat. Sirius steps in and rescues Harry!
And as for him calling Harry James, NO, just NO!
