Well, I think it sort of depends on just WHAT is behind the veil. And 
while I do hope that Sirius will come back trough the veil, I doubt 
he will...

Now, I think that the Veil is like a fish-trap entrance - you can 
only go IN trough it. However, a ghost could return (walls don't stop 
them either) trough the same place.

I do think that there IS a way out, though - one that Harry can use 
but Sirius not... one that any phoenix will use to reborn. And why 
can't Sirius use it? It's too high up, that's why, and probably one 
you need to pass FAST... if Harry's a phoenix animagus/has a firebolt 
with him - he CAN get trough! (but even so, it would be difficult)

Anyway, I am curious!
