If that's what it was, then I think he first saw Lily's letter when he went to Grimald Place to tell Harry about Occlumency lessons. Remember, Sirius was in the kitchen and he had a letter that neither the reader nor Harry ever sees, but Black and Snape are about to attack each other?

that's an interesting thought, but he searched all the bedrooms or maybe that was Mundungas.  What was Snape looking for?  I don't think we are ever told.  He could have been looking for that letter; he tore off Lily's signature and part of the picture.  The scene in the kitchen does not give Snape much opportunity to see the letter and no picture was mentioned.

BTW how could the letter have gotten to the house?  Sirius was not living there at that time (or any time after he was about 16) and we don't know where he lived after Hogwarts.  He was arrested immediately after James and Lily were killed so what happened to his things?  Were they taken back to his mother's house?  Was she proud of him after he was accused of being LV's follower?
