To me (a girl) it seems to me that JKR has picked on the 
characteristics of a typical bloke.  Sirius is gorgeous, 
dangerous and knows it (kneasly got the bad boy bit right).  
He's also not the sharpest pencil.  His dud ideas for Harry 
in GoF, his treatment of Kreacher in OoP...he's impulsive 
and doesn't always think through the consequences of his actions.  
I believe he genuinely thought he was doing the right thing 
by getting Peter to be the secret keeper.  His logic was 
sound enough, he just didn't think it through.  He wants to 
be part of the action in OoP, and its killing him to sit on 
his hands, he wants out, so he goes out as Padfoot, but again 
he didn't think it through, didn't consider the "what ifs".  
Malfoy DID see him (it doesn't seem to be his normal kind of 
language to speak of dogs).

My personal opinion is that Sirius is a normal bloke, itching 
to do what he thinks is right, but somehow always fouling it 
up by not thinking it through to the end.
