I think Sirius's death is a tragic accident more than anything 
else. Sirius didn't get ak'd throwing himself in front of Harry or 
Remus. Bellatrix didn't actually AK him, it was red light not green. 
If he'd been standing anywhere else.... Of course in general we can 
blame her and Voldemort but I think that misses the point. I think 
JKR wanted to show that death in war is often senseless. 

Of course if you believe the ESE!Lupin theory, it's his fault, 
but "my" Remus is not a bad guy :-)
