The Sergeant Majorette says:

It might also begin to explain why she's so noisily demented. Some of 
those effects of inbreeding kick in as one gets older; if Sirius is 
under 40, his mother can't have been that old when she died, even if 
that was comparatively recently. Premature senile dementia?
