me (Fridwulfa):
And don't forget Gilgamesh. He's not from the Greek mythology, but he went
to the underworld to save his friend Enkidu. Once there, Enkidu told him he
could not returno to the living world with him, but he had a chance to talk
to his friend and say the final goodbyes. So... I think Sirius is dead for
good, and he won't return to the "living world", but I'm pretty sure Harry
is going to make an unexpected trip through that veil and meet his godfather
again, and probably his parents too. And what he will learn while there will
be capital to his defeating LV.
Cheers,
