Having not only Phineas but a definite maternal relative, Araminta
Melliflua, on the tapestry pretty much destroys my theory that the
Potter and Snape families don't show up because they're on Sirius's
mother's side of the family, but it's still possible that the Potter
or Snape connections were so far back that their presence on the
tapestry they would require some diligent searching to discover
(assuming that the names had not been removed). It would be rather
time-consuming and laborious to search for ancestors from more than a
few generations back, simply because the tapestry must have been so
huge and so crowded. It's quite possible that Sirius, who was not
obsessed with blood relationships, never made the effort to explore it
thoroughly and consequently was unaware of his exact relationship to
the Potter and Snape families, or he could have chosen not to mention
the connection(s) to Harry.

 Cristina:
I'd think that Sirius would have looked up his friend James' family in
the tapestry, before leaving his parents' house for good. That Mrs.
Black would allow James himself in her house (for tea...) sounds ...
thin... but if she ever did, I definitely see both friends having some
fun with it. I think it would have been something Sirius could have very
well kept up his sleeve to throw back at Snape - but then he would have
to keep a possible connection to Snape's own family out of the
conversation (and I'd very much expect Snape to know all about it...).
