1)      He and James are as close as brothers, you never saw one 
without the other (Rosmerta).  If that is the case, why in the world 
would he transfer the secret keeper duty to Peter "the Worm" 
Petigrew?  The only possible solution was that he knew LV would 
expect that of him, and come directly after him.  It is almost as if 
he is afraid of this (which is contradiction #1 – fear didn't seem 
part of his life previously).

2)      Sirius is extremely angry and Wormtail, and tries to KILL him 
several times.  He doesn't want to turn him over to the authorities 
(although that would appear to have cleared his name).  Rather, he 
wants him DEAD.  Is this the way a sane, good person would act?  He 
seems almost hurt that Harry refuses to let them kill him.

 
 
I'm not going to try and estimate what JKR has in store for Sirius or his probability of becoming a "bad" or "good" character.  However, you did bring up some very good points.  One thing that is clear to me when I read the books is that Sirius is very much like Ron.  They are both irrational, passionate, actors rather than thinkers.  They also would stop at nothing to protect and seek revenge for those who have harmed their loved ones.  
 
Anyways it was just a little parallel that I noticed and wanted to point out...:)
