Sirius' death seems to be solely for the "benefit" of Harry's 
emotional development!

If Sirius is indeed still alive, I would not expect Harry to be told 
until end of book 6 at the earliest. If Sirius uses Fred & George 
Headless Hats and the Invisibility Cloak he could enjoy freedom once 
more, the Headless Hat allowing movement without the cumbersome 
stooping required if just using the cloak.
