Gina replies:
I know that most do not agree, but I say he went to find Sirius
because he knows he is not really dead. The veil most likely only 
works on humans and Sirius probably transformed to Snuffles right as 
he went through out of instinct!

I have to admit that I am in the camp that believes Sirius to be 
really, truly dead ("he's not only really dead, he's really most 
sincerely dead!"); however, Gina's reply brought a rather 
interesting thought to my mind.

What if Sirius DID die... but is reincarnated?  Perhaps as a big, 
black dog who arrives at Privet Drive to be a companion to Harry?

After all, if ghosts exist in the wizarding world, what about 
reincarnation?

Just a thought.  :)
