“Easy for you to say, stuck here!” bellowed Fred. “I don’t see you risking your neck!” The little color remaining in Sirius’s face drained from it. He looked for a moment as though he would quite like to hit Fred, but when he spoke, it was in a voice of determined calm. “I know it’s hard, but we’ve all got to act as though we don’t know anything yet. We’ve got to stay put, at least until we hear from your mother, all right?”

Yeah, Sirius is clearly so impulsive, he has zero self-control.

People just seem to take Sirius and Snape's fights based on the slightest insults and run with it, not thinking about how this is a years-long enmity and Snape has the same amount of reservation when it comes to taunting and fighting Sirius as he does: which is to say none.

Sirius has plenty of calm and strategic smarts otherwise.
