I think you are right. 

My personal feeling is that the movie makers are anxious to have each 
movie stand on its own, without moviegoers needing to have seen or 
remembered previous movies. Even if they had done plenty establishing 
Sirius's relationship with Harry in GOF, they would have still needed 
to re-establish it in in OOP. So this would have been time wasted in a 
movie that is already a little long.

The movies are primarily aimed at the general public rather than keen 
HP fans. Considering that, I think they are remarkably faithful to the 
source material.
