Well, there has been speculation about that (and I know that I am 
not the only one who almost wanted it to happen) but IMO, Sirius 
is/was not the type of man to choose the half life that being a 
ghost is, according to Nearly Headless Nick. Nick seemed to imply 
that a fear of death was what kept him from crossing over, and 
Siruis, who marched into battle against DE's, seemingly did not have 
that fear. As to the black and blue candles, I think they were just 
a way to show off an eerie atmosphere, and it is said that the MoM 
studies death, so perhaps that is where the connection lies.
