Valky:
I can't answer your first question which is a really good one, but I 
can answer this.
Sirius was being oh so clever in formulating a plan to help J and L 
to protect Harry.

He suggested James make the feckless Peter his secret keeper while he
(Sirius himself) went out into the open as bait for LV to keep him 
off the scent.
The canon for this is in Sirius' story in the Shrieking Shack when 
he says: Paraphrase**

'it was the perfect plan I never dreamed that LV would use a weak 
person like Peter'

Hope that helps.
