There is a part of me that feels that these final words will be told to
Harry sometime.  I personally was upset that Remus did not talk to harry
about Sirius death.  However I was thinking yesterday and the only
consolation that I could find is that Remus is hurting too.  We know he is.
I"m fairly certain that the reason that JKR did not deal with this heart to
heart discussion is ithat she was either not ready to write it or not wanted
to have a little bit of Sirius left in the next two books.  I personally
believe that Sirius kept memmories for Harry.  He either had a pensieve kept
or he wrote Harry letters.  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.  

Now ME:  I, too, was upset not to have a conversation between Remus and
Harry, though the train station was not the place.  I also really missed
reading the scene of how Ron and Hermione found out about Sirius death.  I
keep thinking it will be saved for book 6.  The grief Harry is feeling will
play into his summer.  He's about a month a way from his birthday by the end
of OotP and Sirius always sent Harry a gift.  I keep hoping Remus will
present Harry with something he finds in Sirius's belongings that will
perhaps have a note or something from Sirius.  I know, being a guy he
probably wouldn't get a gift until the evening of July 30, but still being
in complete and utter despair over Sirus' loss, I can hope, can't I?
