It worries me a great deal that Harry was careless enough to leave a letter from Sirius out where someone else could find it, even if it was someone he trusts. Something like that could get him into a world of trouble
Even worse, if no names were used in the letter itself, you might point out that if someone else had found that letter, they might try to shift responsibility from Harry by arguing that a letter from Sirius was intended for you. Or that you somehow were an intermediary. I'm afraid that muggleborns often make extremely tempting scapegoats.
If he won't be responsible on his own behalf, perhaps he'll be a little more mindful if he thinks of you.
