too much guilt onto himself. Yes,  we can say if Harry
hadn't been so foolish, Sirius would still be  alive.
But we can also say that if Dumbledore had kept Harry
more  informed, Sirius would still be alive. We can 
also say that if Sirius had  been paying attention 
instead of gloating and bragging, he would still  be
alive. We can say if Dumbledore has wasted less time
questioning  Kreacher, he would have arrived sooner and
could have saved Sirius. So, there  are lots of people
we can blame for this event.

I think we also can consider that SS did not advise Black to stay at GP to  
be safe.  He told him to wait for DD so he could fill him in on  things.  Then 
presumably SB could come with DD to save Harry.  SB  unreasonably and 
recklessly ignored that order or advice and came with the  Order members, leaving DD 
to arrive at an empty house and requiring that he take  the time to question 
Kreacher, thus, delaying DD's own arrival at the MOM.
