I'd buy that if there were any sign, however slight,
that Sirius learned anything from his experiences. But
if PoA does nothing else, it reveals he's still just
as prone to act without thinking, and he's still just
as capable of holding a senseless grudge. 

There's no reason for Sirius to hate Severus as much
as he does except, possibly, Severus' past as a DE, a
mistake which Severus has made up for. Even with that
in mind, Severus hasn't done anything to Sirius
personally that we know of on the same level that
Sirius has done to Severus. 

I can fully understand why Severus feels the way he
does, but IMO, Sirius' reactions aren't justified, and
he doesn't appear to have learned anything or changed
much at all. I think he's capable of doing the same
sort of thing again, given the chance.
