Does Sirius seem like the type to worry? True, he worried about 
Harry's safety in GoF and OotP, but that was after 12 years in 
Azkaban showed him the worst side of life and death, after his bes 
friend and wife we killed and no longer able to take care of thier 
son, and after Voldemort set a vendetta against Harry. At the age of 
15 Sirius had no yet planned the "Trick" on Snape. He doesn't seem 
like someone who would think about consequences. This is a boy who 
discovered how to become an animagus so he could hang out with his 
friend and go on adventures. Remember: "The risk is what would have 
made it fun for James." And for Sirius too, no doubt. I don't think 
he had much pressing on his mind when he was 15. In fact, he seemed 
like the type to try to balance more than one girlfriend at a time - 
without telling any of them, of course. It's a risk, you know. ;-) 

I think the scene in the pensieve may have hinted that: 1) Sirius 
was completely ignorant of his good looks, and just as dumb as Harry 
when it came to girls, or 2) So many girls were after him it was no 
longer fun. He's a guy who likes the chase, and if girls are going 
to make it too easy, who needs that?
