But Nick says he *chose* to be a ghost because he was afraid of 
death. IMHO, Sirius has had enough of being trapped and helpless. Not 
that I think he likes the idea of leaving Harry behind, but he's 
pretty annoyed at everyone else in his life and disgusted with the 
level of his existence since Peter's betrayal 14 years ago. If he 
becomes a ghost, he's not just a ghost for Harry's  next few years in 
school - we attended Nick's 500th deathday, remember? Hopefully, 
Sirius learned enough from being miserable in life not to put himself 
into another prison with a rash thought now.

besides, if he came back, he'd be competition for Peeves, don't you 
think? I can't see Sirius being friendly like Nick or basically 
invisible, like the Grey Lady - he'd have to cause trouble.
