Third Idea about the VEIL.....

3. The voices Harry and Luna heard are Arthur, Molly, and Bill
Weasley. Bill works at Gringotts and the Weasleys are in the
Gringott tunnel area preparing for Sirius' arrival ...? "

Paula now:

I don't know.  After looking up this passage again, I still have the distinct impression that the fact that ONLY Harry and Luna hear the voices is significant, as the fact that Harry and Luna can see the Threstrals.  Neville wasn't present at the time, right?  Also, remember that Harry was very mesmerized by the Veil, and had some desire even to walk through.  I saw this as significant since Harry is the only one whose parents are both dead.  No doubt that JKR will expound on the Department of Mysteries.

Nianya again:

"Most, if not all, postees seem to agree that Sirius is truly dead, 
but purely from the book, the reader cannot be certain.... "

Paula:

Yes, yes.  Even Nearly Headless Nick's certainty that Sirius has "gone on" is not so convincing when he himself (Nick) admits that he knows nothing of the secrets of death.  Remember too that upon hearing of Surius' demise that his great-great grandfather, Phineus immediately leaves his frame in Dumbledore's office and could have possibly fled to his frame at Grimmauld Place.  This fact is a real ray of hope for me.
