Angie chimes in:

By all means, don't take DD'w word for it!  He's a very manipulative, 
sneaky thing, IMO. :) I know he's a good guy, but I believe either 
Sirius is dead or he's not and DD knows about it, and probably helped 
plan the whole thing so that Voldemort wouldn't use Sirius against 
Harry anymore.  Of course, I favor the second option because I want 
Harry to have some kind of adult in his life when all of this is over!

Consider, too, that DD doesn't know to what extent LV can see into 
Harry's thoughts.  That means he can't let Harry in on it.  In any 
event, I think Harry's going to need all the rage he can muster to 
perform the Avada Kavdra (is that right?) curse on LV -- and 
believing LV is responsible for Sirius's death is a sure way to build 
some rage in the little guy.
