Pippin:
Sirius wanted Harry in the fight. In fact, he wanted Harry to know about the prophecy at a time when Dumbledore had decided that he couldn't go through with his plan and was trying to keep Harry out of it. 
 
There's this idea that Sirius would not have thought it was worth it for Harry to die to save his friends. You do realize that makes him a hypocrite for expecting that Peter should have done so? 

There's this idea too that Dumbledore could do anything. But the other side are influential wizards too.
