Deathday for Sirius Black

Hello all,

In CoS we are given a glimpse of a deathday party (for Nearly 
Headless Nick).  One unusual feature about the deathday party that is 
mentioned more than once is that there are strange black candles 
which emit bright blue light:

Candles are first mentioned here....
"The passageway leading to Nearly Headless Nick's partyhad been lined 
with candles, too, though the effect was far from cheeful: These were 
ong, thin, jet-black tapers, all burning bright blue, casting a dim, 
ghostly light even over thier own living faces" (CoS, US edition, p. 
131).

...and then again...
"A chandelier overhead blazed midnight-blue with a thousand more 
black candles" (CoS, US edition, p. 132).

I was reading CoS last night, came to this moment in the book, and 
just happened to look up at OoTP sitting on my bookshelf.  The US 
edition, for those who don't know, is covered in candles emiting 
strange blue light.  Then I thought, "technically OoTP is about S. 
Black's deathday."  In addition, the book ends with HP confronting 
Nearly Headless Nick about the possibility of Sirius returning.  

Questions:
Is there an actual connection between these things or is it just a 
coincidence?  Could JKR be forshadowing SB return as a ghost?
