I  wasn't  thinking about getting insights *from* Sirius, but *about*
Sirius. I'd prefer information that helps to explain why things are
the way they are rather than JKR's frustrating habit of never
finishing a conversation when someone is just starting to ask the
right questions.

JKR told us  that we will find out more about the Snape-Sirius feud
perhaps other things as well. Wasn't there a hint that the 'Prank' 
wasn't the only bit of history they had? Maybe those other memories
Snape deposited into the Pensieve are significant.

And it might be a mistake to conclude that only the Marauders and
Snape have relevant information. Lots of wizards out there that must
know a lot of things. For instance - anyone know if Bagman was at
Hogwarts at the same time as the others? Bet he could tell a tale or two.
And Rita? Hoo! What could she tell us? All sorts of background  stuff,
I'll bet. Endless vistas  of speculation open up bbefore me.
