Alla:
I don't think I agree . Snape and Sirius are not main protagonists. I
don't think them being closely related will influence major plot
point , just helps to explain their animosity. (Voldemort as Harry's
father on the other hand :o))
Consider the infamous:
"Snape knew more curses when he arrived at school than half of the
kids in seventh year..." GoF, paperback, p.531
I think it is a reasonable assumption that Sirius knew Snape before
school.
Of course, you can also argue that Snape was the object of deep
fascination for Sirius the moment he arrived at school. :o)
