Which brings me to something I meant to bring up.  Doesn't the name Grimmauld 
Place, and Sirius's demise, tie in nicely with Harry being afraid, through 
much of PoA, that Sirius's form as an Animagus was a Grim, an omen of death?
  Another point about GP:  Early on, Harry thinks of GP as feeling like the 
"home of a dying person."  Foreshadowing?  Not necessarily a dying person, but 
someone whom, through their personality, was destined to die young?
Ba, who's glad it wasn't Snape or Ron
