Hmmm...well, I have my doubts about the whole Veritaserum theory.  
Yes, Snape is often angry for no good reason, but I doubt even Snape 
could be angry at Sirius for endangering him if the only reason 
Sirius endangered him was that he was under the influence of 
Veritaserum.  I think it was just a dumb, very stupid and childish 
thing Sirius did, and I LIKE Sirius, so there ya go.
