Chris:
<snip>...by assuming that Sirius did not die from Bella's curse. There
is no mention in the book that it was AK, it just says a coloured jet
of light <snip> So while I believe James and Lily will not come back
in JKR's books, I like Saswan, believe that Sirius will return!!



Entropy:

Let's not forget that JKR has already (very conveniently) provided us
with a potion which could convince everyone of Sirius' death.  We all
remember Snape's infamous "...bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper
death..." speech during Harry's first Potions lesson (Book 1, Ch 8 The
Potions Master). But don't forget that, during the same tirade, he
goes on to say:

"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion
of wormwood?...For your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood
make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of
Living Death."

As we know, most of JKR's very specific details usually come back to
"haunt" us.  Since this potion hasn't been utilized yet, perhaps it
will be the means by which Sirius will "hide out" through Book 6 and
maybe even 7.  Now that Lucius recognized his animagus form at King's
Cross, Sirius certainly needs to find a new means hiding in plain sight.
