Do you know what bugs me? I don't mind Sirius and Snape having a go 
at each other. They are big boys after all, they can handle it. But 
all time during their meetings Snape seems to ahve an upper hand. 
First in PoA, Sirius is s fugitive, who escaped from hellish prison. 
Snape is a professor in Hogwarts, which despite him being a spy (or 
not) is a slightly better position than to be on the run from the law.

Then in OoP, Sirius is stuck in the Grimmaulds place and Snape does 
something (whatever it is) for the Order.

You can say that this is a carmic justice for Sirius for how he 
treated Snape as a child, but if you take this position, you can 
surely agree that Sirius paid for his sins more than enough.
