too 
much foreshadowing before his death (he becomes more of a problem 
than a solution to Harry's and the WW's problems). There is
too much 
closure at the end (Dumbledore, Remus, and Hagrid saying he's
dead 
and Nick saying he won't be a ghost). <snip>

Angie asks:
Where does Remus say he is dead?  He didn't finish that remark, did 
he?

Angie replies:
It seems from what I've read on this page, most people who believe 
Sirius is dead would agree that we haven't heard the last of him.  I 
just keep holding out hope that it's in the "corporeal" form!

Kelsey again:

underworld.  <snip>

Angie wonders:
Why do you say Sirius is in the "underworld?"  If Sirius is in the 
underworld, where do bad wizards go?  Can't he be in a "happy 
place?"  Just thinking of Harry going into the underworld gives me 
the willies!

Kelsey again:
> Also, I think that the two keys to Voldemort's undoing (that
he's 
obsessed with never dying and that he can't understand love) are
both 
connected to Sirius (he's dead and also the object of Harry's
love).

Angie again:
As to Voldemort's undoing, what I'd like to see is for Harry to be 
able to use LV's own rage against him when performing the AK curse 
(something to do with the wands connecting, maybe?).  Bella told 
Harry in OOP that he had to really mean it to use an Unforgivable 
Curse; that righteous anger wouldn't hurt her for very long (words to 
that effect).  Harry's anger is nothing but righteous, and I fear, 
alone it will not be enough to do LV in.
