Stan relates to Harry - already in a state of panic fleeing from an 
inflated aunt and the Dursleys, and convinced he is to be banished 
from the wizarding world.  Later, when we learn more about Sirius, 
nothing else links him to Voldemort except the Pettigrew's * 
explosion *.  Does it?  Sirius, we find out later, was the Potter's 
Secret Keeper, so why build a mysterious, rumour-fuelled 
unsubstantiated element to his past linking him to Voldemort?   

Because as the Potter's supposed Secret Keeper (turns out he wasn't ~ 
Pettigrew was), he was the only one who could have told Voldemort 
where the Potters were so that Voldemort could then go kill them.  
Hence the assumption that if Sirius was the Secret Keeper and spilled 
the beans to Voldy, he must have at least been Voldy's follower.
