No, Harry certainly wasn't dumb at the end of OotP, and neither was Sirius. I'd say the blame lays more on Dumbledore and the Order than it does on Harry. Harry did what he perceived is right to do, and he did something that he'd be able to live with had events turned out differently. If Sirius had indeed been captured as with Arthur, Harry'd never be able to live with himself again. Yes, he made a mistake that costed his godfather his life, but he did what he thought was right, and he did what I wish I'd have the courage to do had I been in his situation.
