I doubt Sirius will turn up as undead but your post did make me think 
about the possibility that Dementors are created with a "kiss".  
Perhaps this is where we will discover what has happened to Barty Jr. 
Maybe Voldy is even trying to find a way (perhaps asking his servant 
Snape the Potions Master) to reunite the new dementor with his 
wandering body.

Creepy, no doubt.

Nothing like a 7 year old having a tantrum behind you to disrupt the
