The
reason I believe this, is Sirius felt a great desire to prove to 
Harry that he
cared for him and we know that Sirius thought of harry the entire 
time he was
in Azkaban. Perhaps I'm asking for to much. Perhaps I'm hoping too 
much. But
I personally believe that Sirius left Harry something to remember him 
by. 
Either from the personal memmories of others or from Sirius
himself. 

I agree - at least I hope that someone has or will put some memories 
in a penseive for Harry - Lupin perhaps, if Siruis didn't leave any - 
because at least he could then get a more balanced view of James and 
get to know his moether.

I was devastated when it was Sirius - though relieved that it wasn't 
R/H - sense told me that it wouldn't be, as it would be very hard to 
structure Harry's Hogwarts life without both of them, but stilllI 
could not quite trust JKR not to!

but I agree  that the manner of Siruis' death was rather quick and 
perhaps a little meaningless - part of me wanted JKR to rather over 
do it with a drawn out death - but then, this can look obvious and 
enforced - but still, a few lines in a fight with just one of 
Voldemort's mionions - and that maybe even is was partly his fault, 
because he egged her on and wasn't concentrating, was a bit of a let 
down.

Still, long live Sirius Black.
