Sirius's Future

The poll said to post my "substantially different" idea here, so (as 
a new poster) here goes:

I, for one, am not thoroughly convinced that Sirius is, in fact, 
dead.  I mean, the veil is in the Department of MYSTERIES which means 
(to me) they're not entirely sure of the functions/fine points of 
what they study.  I don't have canon in front of me, but I remember 
Remus saying something like Sirius couldn't come back through the 
veil.  That's different than being dead.  *Side note*  And, how does 
a werewolf (albeit a nice one) know so much about the inner workings 
of the department of mysteries to be so certain?  

The troupe of heroes heard voices through the veil, and dead people 
don't talk... ghosts do, but I'm convinced that being who he is, 
Sirius would not go that route.  (Although, I am curious how Nearly 
Headless Nick would know one way or the other.  He seemed pretty 
certain... was that for Harry's sake?)

I am also intrigued by the posts that seem to point at a link between 
the MM sap and those people hearing the voices.  It would certainly 
give Neville some importance if he deciphered that one.

So, in short, I do NOT believe that Sirius is PROPRERLY dead and I 
believe that Harry will have some future contact with him (perhaps 
through the mirror, some other magical device, or perhaps through the 
veil itself?)  I suppose, in review, it's not that substantially 
different from the "dead and contact via magical instrument" option.  
I just can't buy into the fact that he's dead with so many loose ends 
hanging about.  I suppose Harry must feel somewhat similarly (or he 
would not have even tried the mirror, right?)
