Juli:
Correct me if I'm wrong (but I don't think I am), but HOW do you know 
that the letter in front of Sirius was Lily's letter? Why would he show 
Snape evidence that Dumbledore was ever friends with the 2nd baddest 
wizard in history? Or why would he think that it may taunt Snape in 
some way to read Lily writing 'Lots of Love'? Sirius doesn't appear to 
know that Snape had loving feelings towards Lily. And Snape knew Sirius 
was close to her (wasn't he supposed to be the Secret Keeper after all)?

I always asumed that that letter was from Dumbledore, explainig why (at 
least a part) he wanted Harry to learn Occlumency. DD wasn't a stupid 
man, he must have known that Sirius wouldn't Harry to study occlumency 
with Snape, he must have needed some form of explanation. Besides, 
Sirius was the one that told DD about Harry feeling Nagini inside him.
