Good point, but I believe the reasoning behind this is as you pointed 
out we got to know Sirius, and so did Harry. You see Harry doesn't 
really remember(sp?) his parents; but when he met Sirius, Sirius 
became the embodiment of mother, father and godfather all in one. 
Sirius cared for Harry just as if Harry had been his own son. And 
Harry too cared for Sirius as he would have his father. So when 
Sirius died, Harry not only lost Sirius but every link he had to his 
reall family ( his parents). This magnified everything for our young 
heroine(sp?). It was as if he was re-living evrything all over again 
and at a really fragil stage in his life! 
 Hope, this clears up some of the confusion. This is what Sirius's 
death meant for me so it was only natural to me at least to see Harry 
reacting the way he did!
