think Sirius made up more of a reason in Harry's mind to fight for 
the defeat of Voldie.  I mean who does Harry want after his death, 
who does he try to communicate with?  Who does he want to see?  It's 
not his parents, it's Sirius.  Sirius became family to Harry and 
sadly I"m not sure Harry will ever truly get over Sirius's death.  I 
mean how can you?

I'm sure Sirius' death will make Harry hate Voldemort more than 
ever, but if that's its only point, it still feels gratuitous to 
me.  Harry's been throwing opposing Voldemort since he was eleven.  
It's not as if he was in any danger of deciding to give the Dark 
Lord a big hug before Sirius' death reignited his motivation.
