Could it be that 'unbearable sacrifice" was for Sirius to go away for 
a while (have no clue where ;o)), knowing how badly it will hurt 
Harry.

About the false clues - yes, maybe, but JKR mixes so many different 
genre in them that I never considered them to be "pure" (or fair) 
mystery.


Again, could someome please direct me to interview where JKR says out 
loud that Sirius is really and truly dead and never ever coming back. 
It will shatter my dellusions, but that's Ok. :o) Yes, she said how 
hard it was for her to write  a scene, etc., but I don't remember 
anything about Sirius being truly dead.
