Lynn:

I wouldn't think it very hard for Sirius to just
assume that Harry was at Hogwarts.  After all, he
knows how old Harry is, he scrounges papers from
people who visit there (Fudge as an example) so
he knows what the year is, and it's not a great
leap for him to figure that Harry is at Hogwarts.
 

As for Sirius being hungry in GoF, I find that
understandable as well.  We don't know if there
is any game in the area or what type as he
appears to be staying out of the Forbidden
Forest.  Sirius doesn't want to steal too much
food so the people in the area don't get
suspicious.  Any food the people around Hogsmeade
might give a lovable stray would just be scraps. 
That makes sense.  So, he has rats to live on. 
For a big dog, that assumes a lot of rats are
needed to satisfy a hunger.  Of course if it were
me, I'd have to be really hungry to eat a rat. 
LOL  Harry had food to eat all summer even on
Dudley's diet plan but he was still hungry as it
just was not enough.  So, it would stand to
reason that perhaps there were just not enough
rats around for Sirius to eat that would satisfy
his hunger.  Besides, if all the rats were
suddenly gone, that might raise suspicions as
well.

(who still wonders how the school nurse at
Smeltings could give so unnutritious a diet plan
that calls for only a 1/4 grapefruit for breakfast.)
