Well, I didn't mean "trapped" in that sense. I just don't think he's 
dead... something about that curtain isn't right... I'll have to go 
back and read the last part again.

However, if it is a sort of "limbo" where you are trapped forever, 
then Sirius is royally screwed. But what a way to get rid of 
Voldemort! "Worse things than Death" indeed!

other half of the magic mirror in there)
