Hm, very interesting idea. There is also the idea that maybe Bella was... jealous? of Sirius, for lack of a better word? This would be more likely if they hadn't gotten along as children, but what if Bella - who had clearly been on the Dark Lord's side since the beginning - was upset that her cousin, who was the 'traitor' of the family, suddenly became the most famous and most important Black - and deatheater.
I don't know if I'm explaining it properly, but maybe she wanted to remind everyone [her family, I suppose?] that she had ALWAYS been on the 'right' side, and to remind them of all she had done for Voldemort.
I just love thinking about these sort of things... its actually slightly depressing, because I doubt JKR has even thought of these things in as much detail [at least not in the beginning, I suppose]. But I'm just obsessive compulsive enough to love this sort of thing. :D
