Alla:

Well, if Dumbledore indeed knew that Sirius was innocent and had 
enough humanity left in him to do the right thing, I am sure he 
could have come up with something.

His word means A LOT in wisarding world. He could have for example 
pull his weight in the Ministry and force them to give Sirius 
veritaserum, no matter how controlled this potion is.

I choose to think that he did not know, untill canon says the 
opposite, otherwise Dumbledore and Voldemort become way too similar 
for my liking.
