Actually, it might make sense for two reasons:

A) James's parents took Sirius in (remember Uncle Alphard being blasted off 
for leaving him some gold)

B) Sirius talks like he was happy being there, which means if the Potters 
were purebloods, which is semi-confirmed by Bellatrix's description of Harry as a 
halfblood,  they are probably what Mama Black would describe as blood 
traitors (like the Weasleys, not obsessed with racial purity) and they wouldn't be on 
the tapestry anyway.
