Alla:
Oh, I understand what you are saying, Susan, but I think that JKR
painted Sirius' death a little bit TOO ambiguous for me to be 100%
sure that Sirius is not coming back.
I mean, yes, if he dies suddenly in the heat of th battle, yes, the
message is death is sudden and unfair and takes the best of us.
But there is no body found and more abou the veil is guaranteed to
be revealed in the future books.
I cannot be sure that fully alive Sirius will come back, But somehow
I am positive that we will meet Sirius somehow.

Alla:
Yes, agreed, but I agree with Pippin that spell was left vague
deliberately, just for a completely different reason. :o)
