I'm a big Sherlock Homes fan, and it occurred to me the other day 
that if JKR decides to bring Sirius back somehow, she will have some 
pretty solid literary precedent.  After all, Conan Doyle thought he'd 
killed off Sherlock pretty definitively but it turned out he was 
wrong.  No body, you see.  Of course, there are differences-JKR has 
the whole HP plotline thought out whereas ACD deliberately wrote the 
Holmes stories and novels to stand independently.  Still...hope 
springs eternal.  In my heart, I think Sirius is really gone but with 
JKR, anything is possible.

teenage daughter thinks she should get over it already)
