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.
