Sirius has black hair! He's dark and has very defined (and in PoA 
skeletal) facial structure.  Neither Colin Firth nor especially Jude 
Law are dark.  Law is a blonde and way too young and Firth has light 
brown hair (if I recall correctly) and a much more rounded face.  My 
problem with Joseph Fiennes is that he's too young (born in 1970) and 
too slight to be menacing as Sirius is suppoed to be in PoA.  

My preference is Firth as Lupin (good age...born in 1960) and as 
Penny mentioned Daniel Day Lewis as Sirius.  He's actually 10 years 
younger than Rickman so he's not nearly too old.  Actually he's just 
about the perfect age.  From the trophy case it shows James as seeker 
in 1972.  If we assume that was his 7th year, James would have been 
born in 1954 or 1955.  DDL was born in 1957.
