I've personally never gotten all swoony at the mention of Oldman's 
name, but I think he does have a certain charisma about him--one 
which has more to do with attitude rather than physical appearance.  
And I think attitude is the primary reason why Sirius (and Lupin too, 
for that matter) has such a following in the first place.

I'd also like to recant my earlier comment about Oldman not being the 
right type for Peter.  I had "Dracula" firmly in my mind at the time--
Oldman's versitale enough that he could probably pass for the 
sniveling rat as well.
