Padfoot

The nickname given to Sirius Black by his friends while in animagus form. Sirius took the form of a large black dog and was given the nickname "Padfoot" by his friends because of the dog's padded feet.
Sirius fought in the first Wizarding War in the Order of the Phoenix alongside his friends, but was later blamed for the death of James and Lily Potter and sent to Azkaban, to which he later escaped 12 years later.
Black dies by the hand of his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange and is pushed into the Veil by one of her curses.

Some other nicknames that Sirius has are: Black, Snuffles (by Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger)

padfoot

Sirius Black's nickname due to the mythical creature that was his animagus. His animagus is the padfoot (aka, Barghest of Yorkshire, Cu Sith, Shriker, Galleytrot, etc), which is a large black dog with gleaming eyes that is supposed to have represented death.

His nickname is very commonly mistaken for being created due to a dog's padded feet, but this is incorrect

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs wrote the Marauder's Map in the Harry Potter series.
