There's validity to the "war is hell" theory for why Sirius is dead, 
but I still say there's plot value to the newly revealed fact that he 
was related to so many of the death eaters, possibly in conjunction 
with the whole Protected by Blood thing that Dumbledore explained 
about the Dursleys, which isn't really that useful otherwise, since 
it just means LV can't harm Harry while he's at Privet Drive. I think 
it was revealed in THIS book, right after Sirius died, for a reason.I 
just don't buy that JKR felt she had to kill off someone to prove DEs 
are evil - book 1 started with the double murder of Harry's parents, 
so I think we got that already.  She's moving the plot somewhere, 
people. We just can't tell where yet.
