it was a really interesting theory, and would have, more importantly, made a wonderful story. it bothers me more, though, that half of the information she gives in interviews and these other "sources" of canon, directly contradicts what's in, or ends up showing up in, the books.
and the thing is, even if it wasn't frank and alice who arrested sirius, it was more than likely someone he knew. it's fairly clear that the wizarding population in britian is extremely tiny (i'd posit it wasn't much larger, even before the war), so it makes plenty of sense that everyone knows everyone.
