Seriously? That's why I hate time travel stories. It's too easy to 
play with the facts without an actual plot to fill in the holes. All 
of a sudden it's "Oh Sirius isn't *really* dead, we just couldn't 
let you know because he was on a secret mission." If they are going 
to do something like that I would want to be in for the initial 
discussion on bringing in another Sirius. I would want to know what 
the present Sirius was doing. To just, after the fact, make that 
statement would tick me off to no end.
