Yes, that was why he kept blaming himself for James and Lily's death, feeling that it was indirectly his fault that they died. Harry forgave him, though, and even though I don't think Sirius ever forgave himself, I don't suppose anyone still doubts that it was Voldemort and especially Peter's doing that ended so prematurely the Potters' life.

After all, we all make mistakes, in doing things that we think are best for those we love. The tragedy in this case was that what started out as a well-intentioned deed on Sirius' behalf, ended up in his best friend and his wife's demise.

Then again, we should also ponder whether we could classify what Sirius did as a 'mistake'... are deeds we do for the best of someone's future considered mistakes? Sirius' plan failed, and his judgement of Peter turned out wrong, just like everyone else's, in the end. There's a difference between being mistaken and committing a mistake. I reckon Sirius' case quite shows this.
