Renee:
It could work if Sirius didn't resemble his father. Maybe his mother 
was beautiful when she was young. Or he resembles a good-looking 
grandparent. It would be ironic if the only thing Snape inherited 
from his Black fater was his bad looks.

Renee:
Sirius certainly is. We don't know yet about Snape; all JKR said was 
that he wasn't Muggleborn, IIRC. And while Slytherin may be the 
pureblood House, we know it does take half-bloods.
