I'm sure "Jacob Have I Loved," by you, was a big reason I started thinking about this! I think Sirius would be a huge thing for Snape and Regulus to bond over. But thinking about it, I can imagine that Snape would realize that he would have to be careful, because I think no matter how much Regulus hated Sirius he was still his brother. Snape would probably realize this--there would be lines he couldn't cross regarding Sirius with Regulus, which might make him even more annoyed at Sirius.
I definitely see Sirius as very much a Black, even if he was publically against them. Well, we see this all the time in the world. Despite Sirius sneering at the idea that being a Black makes you practically royalty, Sirius often *does* act like the aristocrat he is. He's not even aware of it half the time. I think Snape's all too aware of that.
