RTJ  wrote that my post about Sirius' death was "obviously worded to be controversial.".   ( I had said that Sirius died as a result of his arrogance, impetuousness etc.)
 
Really?  Sorry to disappoint, RJT,  but your ability to discern "obvious" intent needs some fine tuning.  No,  I worded my statement as I did because those words best describe my opinion of the character and the cause of his death.  I have neither the time nor inclination to incite faux controversy in a book discussion group. The "bait" you chose to take was of your own design, not mine.
 
As for your pedantic recap of the death of Sirius "He died because he fell through the veil...there was a war going on...let's not dig to (sic) deeply for reasons..." .  Oh dear. How does one respond to that sort of literal approach?   Perhaps you think the fall actually killed him; that the veil covered an open mine shaft or something?  
 
I mistakenly assumed participants in an adult group would be able to read beyond the  actual words but apparently your ability to understand literary devices needs some fine tuning as well.
