Severus here:

Sirius is missing the groups romps.  At every full moon, Lupin is 
scuttled away to the screaming shack, so his lycanthrope change can 
take place unseen.  Sirius, James, and wormtail (forgot his real 
name) Change into their animal forms and run with their friend in 
wolf form.  They are the ones that keep him from trying to eat 
innocent people. Yes, it is the idea of running around with a 
werewolf. At least that is my take on the subject.
