Pippin, you are usually so correct that I pause (or is that paws) 
before mentioning the vision of Sirius/Padfoot in the stands in the 
wonderfully named Chapter "Grim Defeat" of PoA, is during Lupin's 
time of the month.  In the following chapter, on the Monday 
following the game, Lupin inquires about the match but had only 
heard about it.

And if it was at the full moon, I wonder if Sirius was pretty 
confident that Lupin wouldn't be there to recognize him in Padfoot 
form. If he even knew that Lupin was teaching at Hogwarts.
