Did anyone else who did not think that Sirius would be the one to die before the book change their minds upon starting the book? I didn't really know who I thought would die but I was worried that it would be Lupin. However on starting the book I changed my mind. I don't know why but almost the moment Sirius turned up I knew he would be the one to die and I spent most of the book tensing up every time he turned up because I was so worried. When we got to the end and he wasn't there I was soooo relieved and then he turned up with Lupin and the others and I just felt like screaming at him to get back to his house. 

HOLLYDAZE!!!

I refused to believe for a moment before the book was released that Sirius would be the one to die.  But like you, I almost immediately thought he would be the one to die when he showed up.  How could I not?  There were a couple references to how he had once been so good looking, how reckless he was, and how much he hated that house.  Plus everyone was afraid he was going to do something stupid.  It did scream of him being the one.  

I admit, I was so adamant that he not die, that I kept shoving all the worries to the back of my head and read about how a slew of other characters could have died, half-hoping that one of them would die (of course I didn't want them to die, either).  But even as I marvelled at how well JKR wrote the book, making us think different things all the way through, I still in the back of my mind knew it would be Sirius.
