After rereading Order of the Phoenix with my daughter, I was wondering why Harry only used the floo network to stick his head through, rather than just using it as intended and transporting himself to Grimauld place? Not only would he have found Sirius, if he was truely gone, the Harry would have been in London, much closer to the Ministry to rescue him, and safe from Umbridge. Even after Umbridge was taken away by the Centaurs, a trip via Floo network would have taken him directly to the ministry! Thestrals would have taken hours to get from Scotland to London
