Sirius Black (1877 - 1952) was the eldest son of Phineas Nigellus and Ursula Black. He married Hesper Gamp, and had three children: Arcturus, Lycoris, and Regulus Black, and is thus the great-grandfather and namesake of Sirius Black III.[1]
[edit] Behind the scenes
- Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Sirius may have been a member of the Slytherin House. That would make him the only Sirius Black who was sorted into Slytherin house; Sirius Black I died before going at Hogwarts and Sirius Black III was sorted into Gryffindor house. However, he attended Hogwarts c. 1888 - 1895, when Slughorn wasn´t Potions teacher.
- Sirius II was named after his paternal uncle who died very young.
- Sirius II named his son Arcturus after his brother, or after his great uncle.
[edit] Etymology
Sirius is the name of the Dog Star, which is very bright.
