  Now back to Godric's Hollow. What if Sirius being willing to die for

  more to this guardian selection, some additional protection conveyed
  onto Harry if Sirius does indeed die while attempting to protect
  him, similar to but not as powerful as Lily's sacrifice. Sort of a
  strengthening of Lily's sacrifice.

  This is a cool theory! JKR did say that there was a reason why Sirius
  had to die. Your theory may be why.



First of all JKR NEver said sirius had to die. she said Sirius had to fall through the veil. We haven't seen the last of Mr. black. if you go to her site Jkrowling.net  with in the rumours section or the faq she discusses Harry not using the mirror to see if Sirius was safe and that even if harry had it wouldn't have made a difference. she also makes allusions to the fact that it is very important for harry to have that mirror in books six and seven.  but the point, JKR never said sirius was dead. she ducks the topic by saying things like, I had to let him go. or He was becoming to influential on Harry. She's very good and NOT saying he's dead.
