   How? for making snide remarks? (his normal behavior). As DD says 
Sirius is much too old to take schoolboy gibes to heart. 

   IMO responsibility for Sirius death sets chiefly on the shoulders 
of the DE who killed him, with the treacherous Kreacher second, and 
of course Lord Voldemort who concocts the whole plot third.

   Harry has some responsibility for falling into the trap, but then 
he didn't have the information to know it was likely a trap.

   Dumbledore is responsible for not giving Harry that information 
but one can see his problem; there is no good time to tell a young 
boy he is doomed to kill or be killed by an evil wizard.

   And of course Sirius himself knew perfectly well he was taking a 
major risk by going along on the rescue - but understandably didn't 
care with Harry in danger. 

   Come to that Lupin et-al are probably blaming themselves for 
letting Sirius come.

   Sirius was suffering from severe cabin fever and frustration over 
not being able to do more for the cause. This was the fault of 
circumstances not DD, not Harry and not Snape. It was this as well as 
fear for Harry that led him to put himself in harms way.
