In response to Marianne and everyone else who posted about Sirius being dead 
or not dead...

I believe he's dead. JKR has said that if there is a theme to the Harry 
Potter books, it's "facing up to death". I doubt very much that under a 
theme like that she'd have Sirius brought miraculously back to life 
soap-opera style. But another thing JKR has made very clear in the Harry 
Potter books is that death is not the end...
