I hope that doesn't happen.  I think that if Harry allows himself to be 
consumed by anger, or a desire for vengeance, and goes after Voldemort for 
those reasons, then he will meet his downfall, whether he defeats Voldemort 
or not.  Sorry to bring up another Star Wars parallel, but this reminds me of 
the part in Return of the Jedi where Luke wants to kill the emperor but 
refuses to give in to his hatred.  If he gives in, even though the emperor 
will be dead, the dark side will have won.  I don't think that Harry will be 
the one to destroy Voldemort, no matter how much he hates him.  I think Harry 
is better than that.
As for what I think about Sirius dying...well, I'd rather not think about it. 
 No!  Not my Sirius!  Quite apart from what his death would do to Harry 
(which would be terrible in itself), it would just be incredibly unfair to 
Sirius.  Yes, I know, life isn't fair, but still, hasn't the poor man been 
through enough?
