Naama:

I actually *mourned* for Sirius. I kept thinking how it wouldn't be 
the same without him, and how sad it is that he never lived to have 
his name cleared...

Though I must admit that the saddest part in the book wasn't Sirius' 
actual death, but Harry's reaction in Dumbledore's office. I know 
he's not real, but I just couldn't help feeling sorry for him all the 
same.
