OOP Major spoiler: I wanna ship

[cheesycrustie]

I'm truly sorry but I think Siruis's death is irrevocable. Here's the 
evidence from the Jeremy Paxman Interview with JK Rowling:

JEREMY PAXMAN: And is there going to be a death in this book? 

JK ROWLING: Yes. A horrible, horrible 

JEREMY PAXMAN: A horrible death of a significant figure. 

JK ROWLING: Yeah. I went into the kitchen having done it.... 

JEREMY PAXMAN: What, killed this person? 

JK ROWLING: Yeah. Well I had re-written the death, re-written it and 
that was it. It was definitive. And the person was definitely dead. 
And I walked into the kitchen crying and Neil said to me, "What on 
earth is wrong?" and I said, "Well, I've just killed the person". 
Neil doesn't know who the person is. But I said, "I've just killed 
the person. And he said, "Well, don't do it then." I thought, a 
doctor you know....and I said "Well it just doesn't work like that. 
You are writing children's books, you need to be a ruthless killer." 

I furthur quote from the above that JK Rowling has said that "the 
person was definitely dead". So, though U.S.S. SIND may sail 
valiantly in TBAY, I think it'll never see Sirius resurface again.
Forgive me if I sound too harsh?
