This question bugs me too (perhaps it's addressed somewhere else here 
among all these messages). He wouldn't even need to question whether 
Sirius is actually dead, but it seems a bit out of character for him 
to not ask how, exactly, he died, and what the veil was all about. He 
even had that vague conversation with Luna _ wouldn't he have wanted 
to talk to Dumbledore or someone else about it right away, to get a 
better explanation?

Maybe we'll see that happen in book 6. I'd like it if Lupin explained 
it to him, since he seemed to know what was going on.
