So everyone would think it has been Bellatrix, wich is a good thing. 
So S&B were in a prominent spot, attracking atention to themselves, 
being the focus of the witnesses, and letting R/L search for a good 
moment. A cleptoman can do it, sure an assasin could do.

Well, not all the time :) but when Lupin orders harry to go away (or 
gets him out of the picture so that he can shoot at ease), he is 
with Malfoy, then Harry moves so Malfoy and Remus are out of his 
sight, but they were together and in the position to do the work.

Not just wanting him dead. Having him killed by Bellatrix.

Family Reasons, called money and  the Black's possesions. Aren't 
killers disinherited from its own's victims heritages? If Bellatrix 
is marked as the culprit, she is out and the only obstacle for 
little Draco to inherit Grimmauld Place is Andromeda, who is a 
lesser obstacle.

the dementors in POA.

And blow his cover up? When Sirius was going to be dementoriced 
because everyone believed he was a murderer? Why? Could he know the 
kids were going to use a TTurner and save the day?

I'm not saying to kill Sirius was plan A, but if the chance was 
there, he had people around with motives (if they are ESE, that's 
it) to kill him.

Apart of the list of reasons already exposed on-list in 'Guilty 
Dumbledore', I think, or 'Guilty Again' threads.
