Bren now:

To quote Captain Jack Sparrow (whom I imagine Sirius to look like) --
 "That's very interesting."

What do we know (from Greek Mythology and other myths and fantasy) 
about: 

1. Going to Underworld to Save Someone who's Dead?
2. Going to Underworld to Acquire a "Weapon" (ie. knowledge, power, 
etc)?
3. Solving Riddles/Puzzles or Old Nursery Rhymes to Continue the 
Journey?
4. Going Beyond Veil?

Also, I wonder if Priori Incantatum has anything to do with this 
going-to-underworld theory...
