Laura again:

"But then I saw Peter in that picture...I realized he was at Hogwarts 
with Harry...perfectly positioned to act, if one hint reached his 
ears that the Dark Side was gathering strength again...{a}nd to 
deliver the last Potter to them.  If he gave them Harry, who'd dare 
say he'd betrayed Lord Voldemort?...[S]o you see, I had to do 
something.  I was the only one who knew Peter was still alive..."  
(p.371, PoA US)

There's no doubt Sirius wanted revenge, but I think his primary goal 
was to protect Harry.  Call me a die-hard Sirius-lover.  :-)
