It's true, but Sirius didn't know any of that. In GoF Ch.27 he said: "As far as I know, Snape was never even accused of being a Death Eater...".  And also: "... I just can't see him (Dumbledore) letting Snape teach at Hogwarts if he'd ever worked for Voldemort". 

Sirius found out Snape used to be a DE only at the end of GoF, I think, but he also found out that Snape was Dumbledore's spy and worked for the Order. As for the Prophecy, I don't think Sirius ever knew it was Snape who reported it to LV.

Yeah, but it's not like he was subscribed or something :-). He only got the newspaper once - Fudge left it to him while visiting Azkaban.
