I agree with Earendil that Sirius knew he'd be a very unsafe guardian
for Harry, especially if he murdered Peter as he apparently intended,
so he accepted DD's arrangements, even giving (lending?) Hagrid his
motorbike to carry them out. In a way it's too bad that Hagrid didn't
know about the Secret Keeper arrangement because he would have angrily
confronted Sirius and Sirius would just has angrily have defended
himself. Instead he went off to murder Peter and, even though his plan
failed, ruin his own life.

IIRC (and of course, I have been known to be horribly wrong), Sirius 
went to FIND and CONFRONT Peter.  Not to murder him.  In the 
Shrieking Shack he tells Lupin to hurry up because he wants to commit 
the murder he was convicted of.  He never says he intended to kill 
Peter when he found him the day after the Potters were murdered.

Sue, who cannot find her copy of PoA anywhere since her 7 year old 
decided to read it. :(
