I don't know, to me it seems exactly the other way around.  I think 
there was a huge number of different interesting directions that 
Sirius' character could've gone in, and now they've all been cut 
off.  As long as a character is alive, there's hope for learning and 
change and growth.  The fact that Sirius had all these issues and 
problems and character flaws only served to increase his story 
possibilities.  The only characters who can't go anywhere are those 
who are already perfect.  Or dead.

That's the main reason Sirius' death bothers me so much -- aside 
from my emotional attachment to the character.  It abruptly cuts off 
a really interesting and potential-filled story arc.
