I was wondering the same thing about the proof.  My worry is that
even with everyone vouching that he was there and that he indeed went 
through the veil, how would they be able to convince anyone that 
Sirius -- dreaded mass murderer, traitor, and escaped prisoner from 
Azkaban -- was actually fighting on the side of the good guys and was 
not there as a DE?
