Jealosy of James' quidditch skills is a good point. personally I am 
suspicious for several reasons:

Why would Sirius be angry accusing the member of Slytherin house 
being Lucius' lapdog? ( well, slash fan in me screams jealousy, but I 
know that this reason is probably the wrong one for canon. :o))

I mean, yes, Sirius, Slytherins associate together, what is so 
strange about it? It will make much more sense, if Sirius thought 
that fellow Gryffindor started being disloyal to his own house. :o)
I read "run with the gang of Slytherins" in the same context.


I am also suspicious because of Prank. I think if Severus was a 
gryffindor, Sirius had more chances to lure him into Shack.
