This is plain canon.

Jenjar:

I agree, mostly.  I was very dissapointed with Sirius when he taunted 
Harry about not taking risks and said that Harry must not really be 
like his father, the risk would have been the fun of it for James 
(I'm paraphrasing from memory).  I felt this more than anything was a 
very out of character moment for Sirius.  As right on as Sirius was 
about everything you listed Neri, I don't think he was at the top of 
his game and I wonder if his angry and reckless attitude in OoP made 
it harder for people to consider his thoughts and recommendations as 
valid as they truly were?  I think the other members of the order 
just blew him off as angry and trapped or something.  But I think 
Sirius at his best could have been more even-tempered and persuasive 
with the rest of the order.  And oh, if they had only listened to 
him...
