I thought Sirius knew about the Prophecy because James & Lily had 
told him. They chose Sirius to be Harry's godfather and to be Harry's
guardian if something happened to them, in a context where it was not
unlikely that something would happen to them. Surely they would have
wanted to keep their understudy informed of the baby's medical
history, favorite toys, AND any significant prophecies that led
Voldemort to want to kill him.
