I would say that it is not quite as easy as that (I'm sure you didn't 
mean to imply that it was).  When Sirius confronts Peter in GoF, he 
talks about Peter's propensity to hang around stronger wizards who 
would take care of him.  At an early age, it was the Marauders that 
did that for him and then he turned to LV.  Even though we can see 
now that he was completely grossed out by bringing back LV and he 
wasn't treated well in the process, I don't think that it would be as 
easy for him to go back to Dumbledore.  In my mind, he doesn't have 
the courage to face Dumbledore with his past transgressions and clear 
Sirius's name.  He may end up doing that despite his own intentions 
though.  We haven't yet seen the fulfillment of his life-debt to 
Harry.
