>Right the strange thing to me after the fact is not  the line about 
Whomping willow, that I agree was meant to empathize  connection with 
Lupin I guess, but games, broken eyes, as I said "name only"  
character and for some reason broomstick. Why is broomstick mentioned 
at  all?

The broomstick is mentioned because Lupin is commiserating with Harry about  
the loss of his broomstick, which was torn to shreds by the WW in POA, when it 
 was blown into the Willow when he fell off it because of the Dementor  
attack.  
 
BTW I don't see how Sirius could possibly come out of this story looking  
good.  At best, if he did not plan to get SS killed, either he was  incredibly 
stupid in failing to see SS could be killed or he didn't care.   In the latter 
case, he risked almost certain exposure for Lupin and he did,  of course, end 
up  letting James risk his own life to undo what Sirius had  done.
