I don't believe this could be true.  We know he went somewhere 
tropical (i.e. not the Riddle House) during the summer because of the 
tropical birds.  But also, if he HAD gone to the Riddle House, I 
believe we would have received some indication of it (a clue to it) 
during Voldemort's rebirth.  I believe that he could not have helped 
himself - he would have mentioned it or at least provided some 
mysterious clue since he was planning to kill Harry anyway.

Also, I would point out that when H/R/H were visiting him at the cave 
in GoF, he was genuinely confused about the mark on Snape's arm and 
seemed, in general, very uninformed about life in the Dark Side.  

I am certain that anyone on this list could twist any of these facts 
if they wanted to :), but I still believe that Sirius is a good guy.
