Kneasy:
What opportunities? I can't remember many good ones.

Neri:
One opportunity that immediately comes to mind is the night Arthur 
was attacked. Harry and the Weasley kids were alone the whole night 
with Sirius, while DD and the rest were busy with helping Arthur and 
covering after him. Sirius brought everybody butterbeer. He could 
have put a sleeping drought inside it so he'll have no problem with 
the Weasleys, then kill Harry and get out of the house to find LV and 
collect his prize, or he could bring drugged Harry to LV. I'd think 
Voldy would have been ready to blow Sirius' cover for this. 

Actually, to make it even simpler, whenever Sirius and Harry were in 
the same room together, Sirius could kill Harry and disaparate to 
Voldy.

But I guess this would have been much too simple :-D
