I know exactly what you mean! Maybe it's just because he spent 
12/13yrs in Azkaban that he might have reverted somewhat to 
childhood? Or maybe because he is talkig to a group of kids that he 
speaks down to them? Although that doesnt seem like a thing that 
Sirius would do... I dont know.

Could have been although it just made me laugh!

I noticed this too, and I was sure Draco was going to hear them or 
the news that they were talking about Sirius would get back to Draco, 
and Sirius would be forced to go on the run again.
