My opinion: JKR wanted to make it clear, that she believes in life 
after Death. Therefore she created the veil, as the barrier between 
the life and the afterlife, and let Harry hear the voices. herefore 
he has a strong reason to believe Luna, when she later said, that 
Sirius and the others are just lurking out of sight. This would be 
much more difficult, if Sirius died in another way.
