First, let me say that if I hadn't known SOMEONE was going to die, I 
wouldn't have been on the lookout for it. So, I hope that when it 
comes to Book 6, advance details are much fewer and farther between.

Very simply, Sirius was at the end of his rope. He was not useful to 
the Order, his devotion to Harry was being challenged by Molly and he 
was trapped in a home he hated. 

I really got the vibe of a man who felt his only useful remaining act 
would be to die in the service of his cause. Do I think Sirius went 
to the Dept. of Mysteries with the idea of dying? No, but I think he 
showed recklessness during that fight.

Was I absolutely sure? No, not at all, especially after McGonagall 
took the four to the chest. But when it happened, I wasn't altogether 
shocked.
