The relationship between Dumbledore and Sirius was a bit peculiar, wasn't it? You said that Sirius seems so little beholden to Dumbledore, but in OOTP, whenever people counsel Sirius against leaving the house, they always resort to "Dumbledore said so"; and that shuts Sirius up.
But why should it? What did Sirius owe Dumbledore? Why was he loyal to him?
Other characters like Snape, Lupin, etc were given a Second Chance. But, asseductivedark says, we never saw this with Sirius. Sure the Prank could be interpreted that way, but as you said, it never seems to register with him at all; it was all about James and Snape. So to me, it is quite unclear why Sirius obeyed the edicts handed down by Dumbledore. I never saw much warmth between them in their scenes together. (In fact, when DD and Sirius are in the same room, Sirius gets very little attention from him.)
