I have to give this idea lots of points for creativity and degree of 
difficulty. :-)   Is there any possible way that Sirius could be 
either guilty, a secret Death Eater/spy, or a future traitor?

I think we can rule out guilt in James and Lily's murders.  Why would 
Sirius have them change to Peter as Secretkeeper if he planned to 
betray them?  Seems a little too complicated, but I'm open to any 
theories anyone might have on this.  And if Sirius isn't trying to 
protect Harry in PoA, and if he's really a DE, then what on earth is 
he doing in PoA?

How about blowing up the street?  Well, we know Peter left his finger 
in the street, and we know he went into hiding.  This does get kind 
of interesting, though.  Say that Sirius is a DE, and Peter is a DE, 
but neither knows the other is a DE.  Sirius knows that Voldemort 
went to the Potters' house on Peter's information.  So he corners 
Peter in the street not to avenge the Potters, but because he holds 
Peter responsible for Voldemort's downfall.

Could Sirius be a secret Death Eater and spy who was in on the whole 
plot to restore Voldemort?  This is kind of interesting.  To tell you 
the truth, I can't think of anything Sirius has done that would 
inconsistent with this part of Jo Ellen's idea.  After all, Sirius 
could have behaved in that protective, fatherly way in GoF to make 
sure Harry survived to the Third Task.  ::shivers at the idea that 
Sirius the Death Eater is in the graveyard watching Harry being 
tortured::  

Somehow, I know deep down that Sirius was not/is not/won't be a 
traitor to Harry and Dumbledore, but I just can't prove it.  Not yet, 
anyway.
