I totaly agree. Sirius *could* have added a huge extra dimension to 
the book, but all he really got was cameos. His death seems to put an 
end to any small victories the Trio and the Order could gain in the 
following years. What's the point of catching Peter if Sirius is 
dead? What, personaly, does Harry have to look forward too? What does 
Lupin have to look forward too? Two years of war and life as an 
outcast.... That's what irks me the most about Sirius' death. The 
lonely ones are even more alone, but the ones with 'happy' families 
are unscathed and don't have to learn the lessons Harry has. 

God, I miss Sirius.
