Alla:

I think (besides plot reasons, of course) that Sirius did not go to 
Dumbledore precisely because Dumbledore was so easily convinced of 
Sirius' guilt. He testified at Sirius hearing, right? He did not 
even insist (as far as we know) to let Sirius tell his story.

I am not surprised at all, frankly.
