It's Harry's curse, I guess that people can't see he isn't like his father.
That's very true. First thing he hears from people he encounters in the magical world is how much he resembles his father, but for his eyes. He's got his mothers eyes. (That's paraphrasing Dumbledore.)
One if the wizards - was it Kingsley? - who come to bring him away from the Dursleys says something along the same lines, as well, as does McGonagall when she has him made Seeker in PS. So Sirius is not the only one who compares Harry to James, and Sirius jumped straight from seeing James for the last time in 1981 to seeing Harry 12 years later without the trace of the possibility to see Harry's development into an independent individual.
