(in Umbridge's voice) May I just suggest a teeny-tiny correction 
here. :) And it is indeed teeny tiny. I don't like Sirius at all and 
he *was* being rude to Remus, but he didn't say he needn't *study* 
this rubbish. I reckon he did study hard.
"'I'm bored', said Sirius. 'Wish it was full moon.' 'You might', 
said Lupin darkly from behind his book. 'We've still got 
Transfiguration, if you're bored you could test me. Here...' and he 
held out his book. But Sirius snorted. 'I don't need to look at that 
rubbish, I know it all.'"
So he's just saying he doesn't need Remus' book to test Remus, he 
knows Transfiguration well enough to do it without one. Which is 
still rude and condescending towards Remus (who *does* need the 
book) but he's just being Sirius.
