I think that Fudge WAS trying to keep Harry from Sirius, and not for
his own good.  Fudge suspended the rule against underage magic in
Harry's case at the beginning of CoS; Harry fully expected to be in
big trouble and barred from Hogwarts.  But Fudge just brushed the
matter aside, because his main objective was to get Harry to Hogwarts
*no matter what*, as it was the one place he could be most insulated
from any possible contact with Sirius.  I do think that Fudge was
worried that Harry might learn something dangerous if Sirius was able
to speak to him.  Which makes me wonder if Sirius HAS told Harry
something important about Fudge, which we just haven't realized yet. 
Now that Sirius is gone, any information he had has either been
disclosed (maybe even without him realizing it) or else has gone to
the grave.
