And also gets rid of a deeply hated personal enemy. I can't imagine 
Snape was comfortable sharing the Order of the Phoenix with Sirius, 
even if you disallow my personal subtext. And Dumbledore certainly 
rubbed Snape's nose in the fact that he was going to have to do so. (I 
really do think, considering that he was sending Snape off on a 
potentially fatal mission, that Dumbledore might have spared Snape 
having to shake hands with the guy.)
