Vad tyckte Sirius?
Det är faktiskt inte klart att Sirius tyckte tycker att det var en allmänt bättre mötesplats; det refererade citatet är ett svar på en interjection av Hermione, och Sirius kommenterar bristen på en specifik resonemang:
"You want to choose your meeting places more carefully," said Sirius, grinning still more broadly. "The Hog's Head, I ask you."
"Well,it was better than the Three Broomsticks!" said Hermione defensively. "That's always packed with people -"
"Which means you’d have been harder to overhear," said Sirius. "You've got a lot to learn, Hermione."

Men även om vi antar att Sirius anser att Tre Broomsticks är en bättre plats, är det värt att notera att han bara tror på detta i jämförelse med Hog's Head. Och i rättvisan är det inte en orimlig åsikt.
De tre broomsticksna vs. Hog's Head
Frågan hävdar att en stor grupp barn som träffas i en krog skulle vara misstänksam, men de tre broomsticksna är ingen främling för Hogwarts studenter; som vi lär oss i brännboll :
Hogs Head är å andra sidan en dyk , praktiskt taget tom och inte ofta besökta av studenter:The Three Broomsticks was packed, mainly with Hogwarts students enjoying their free afternoon, but also with a variety of magical people Harry rarely saw anywhere else.

I've told the others to meet us in the Hog's Head, that other pub, you know the one, it's not on the main road. I think it's a bit... you know... dodgy... but students don't normally go in there, so I don't think we'll be overheard."

It was not at all like the Three Broomsticks, whose large bar gave an impression of gleaming warmth and cleanliness. The Hog’s Head bar comprised one small, dingy and very dirty room that smelled strongly of something that might have been goats. The bay windows were so encrusted with grime that very little daylight could permeate the room, which was lit instead with the stubs of candles sitting on rough wooden tables. The floor seemed at first glance to be compressed earth, though as Harry stepped on to it he realized that there was stone beneath what seemed to be the accumulated filth of centuries.

There was a man at the bar whose whole head was wrapped in dirty grey bandages, though he was still managing to gulp endless glasses of some smoking, fiery substance through a slit over his mouth; two figures shrouded in hoods sat at a table in one of the windows; Harry might have thought them Dementors if they had not been talking in strong Yorkshire accents, and in a shadowy corner beside the fireplace sat a witch with a thick, black veil that fell to her toes. They could just see the tip of her nose because it caused the veil to protrude slightly.

Även om ett stort möte med ungdomar på någon plats kan vara orsak till misstankar, verkar det verkligen mindre misstänksamt för dem att träffas i en känd studentavhängning, snarare än en jolleseglare, out-of-the-way pub, frekventerad av människor som Mundungus Fletcher.
