What do you suppose will happen to Sirius' house and effects now that 
he's gone? Will he have left his belongings to his godson Harry? Will 
the OotP still be able to use it as their HQ? 

And, I was so sad to see that he was the one to die, but you 
know . . . once we saw where he "was" in this book--trapped in that 
dreadful house with that insane little elf, unable to safely leave 
now that everyone knew he was an animagus . . . he WAS feeling 
reckless, I think he WAS a little confused about Harry, I think his 
time in Azkaban and being stuck in his awful childhood home with his 
mother's portrait screaming . . . I think the stir-craziness 
certainly didn't help his state of mind. I think there were only two 
choices for his character, now that he was left without possible 
moves in the "game"--either (sadly) kill him and give Harry one more 
burden in his young life or somehow convince the entire wizarding 
world that he was innocent and not dangerous. I'm not sure he was 
entirely "not dangerous" anymore--he was getting too reckless for 
that--and while I don't think he would have deliberately hurt 
someone, he was either going to get himself killed or he was going to 
get someone ELSE killed and I think the guilt would have pushed what 
was left of his good sanity over the edge. I think the chance of his 
being able to really "heal" to live a normal life with his godson was 
pretty slim with the risky state of the wizarding world, fighting a 
two-front war with both Voldemort AND the Ministry. I'm glad for his 
sake that he was able to go out actually DOING something.
