Maybe it was Remus' werewolf persona that made him unsuitable.

The Dementors are the "natural allies" of V-Mort and the Giants also seem to 
be allies. It might not be that large a stretch to include werewolves in that 
category as well.

Or perhaps, more practically, in a bestial brain, there are no secrets, and 
therefore, Remus couldn't do it. Remember, he turns into a beast once a 
month. (Insert your favorite PMS joke here.)

Or maybe Sirius was just, when it came down to it, not ready to trust a 
werewolf. Like Ron, his latent prejudice came into play and it came back to 
hurt him.  That could be why Sirius is a shade harsh with Ron in GoF over 
Crouch and the house-elf business. Sirius has lived with a mistake based on 
poor judgement and wants Ron to snap free of his stereotyping ways.
