Bellatrix is the first theory I’ve heard that seems to adequately explain “jolt of terrified adrenaline”, to me. I hadn’t thought of that possibility. And we should be expecting Bellatrix to appear somehow, which seems less true for Sirius.
My mentioned idea about Sirius isn’t workable anymore—and neither is the one about Bellatrix. Because we now know that only professors can obliviate people at Hogwarts without being detected—so Hat & Cloak has to be a professor.
