Snape OR Sirius ?

This is one question that has been ringing inside my head soon after I completed reading the books.

Which one of these do you think is a better character?

I know that many of you believe that Severus Snape is the best sketched character in the entire series but please do think about Sirius Black. I am little partial towards Sirius because I relate to him a lot!

Severus was the one who played a two way agent  between Dumbledore and Voldemort when actually his loyalty was with Dumbledore. His love for Lily made him work for Dumbledore and protect Harry Potter through out his school years, and simultaneously he gained the confidence of Voldemort and fetched information from him. He followed Dumbledore's plans even after Dumbledore's death!

About him Harry Potter said,"He was the bravest man I ever knew!".

Sirius Black : Belonged to the family of Blacks. He was arrogant and pompous but against the belief that magical education should be restricted to pure bloods. He was best friends with James Potter and the Godfather of Harry Potter. He was sent to Azkaban for a crime he never committed. After 12 long years at the pridon he returned in order to see and protect Harry and show him the actual culprit behind the death of his parents, Peter Pettigrew!
He died while saving Harry and his friends at the Department of Mysteries after receiving the death curse from his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. He was one of those persons whom Harry called after their death using the resurrection stone.


Now people, do write back telling me what do you think about these two characters. Both brave and skilled duellers!
