Buttercup:I think Harry's boggart will be seeing Sirius fall
through the veil over and over again, knowing that he
wasn't able to save him."

Good thought, and you're right, I believe.  My tongue was somewhat in
my cheek about Draco's boggart being Harry, but Jenny is right, Harry
loathes Umbridge more than fears her.

A Boggart, though, takes the shape of an object, a thing, that a human
fears most, so what Harry would see is Sirius's body or the Door of
the Dead (how's that for a name?), not the scene of Sirius's death,
just as Mrs. Weasley saw her loved ones dead, not them dying horribly.
 IOW, boggarts don't put on plays.
