Mandy here:
Nice idea except that Sirius gained entry, all the way into the 
Gryffindor common room, with evil intent.  Everyone was wrong in 
believing he was after Harry when in fact he was after Peter, but 
either way, he was there to commit murder.  Wouldn't the school have 
wanted to confuse him to protect the innocent inside?  Perhaps the 
school recognized him as one of its own, but then it would recognize 
Voldemort as Tom, one of its own too.
