Dicentra again:
I think that if he's got Harry, the vengeance thing is no longer his
responsibility.  There's still Lupin, and now that Sirius knows he's
not the traitor, he can send the wolf after Peter.  

As for what he planned to do with little Harry, I imagine he planned
to take him home and take care of him.  He and the tyke already knew
each other, and if you're a fully fledged wizard, you've probably got
some spells up your sleeve to help you take care of a kid.

And besides, he could always ask Arabella to help... :D

--Dicentra, who doesn't doubt Sirius could have pulled the
single-parent thing off
