Yeah, I thought that was a little off too. As far as the intention of 
that scene was, I think it was supposed to be his soul, but that 
doesn't quite fit with the book or the movie's own continuity. In the 
shrieking shack scene Snape mentions the Dementer's Kiss and says 
its "unbearable to witness" which fits with the descriptions of it 
from the books, but what happens to Sirius on the lake is hardly a 
kiss or unbearable to witness. Perhaps it was just his "lifeforce" or 
something of that nature leaving his body, making him just dead, 
not 'alive-but-without-a-soul'. This would fit with him waking up and 
gasping when the light goes back into his mouth.
