mhbobbin:
How much does DD know anyway? About this particular ancient artifact?
And just where is Sirius's body?

In GOF, at the Quidditch World Cup, Arthur briefly speaks to two 
Unspeakables who work in the Dept of Mysteries. One is Bode who is 
cruelly used by LV and then mysteriously throttle  by the killer 
plant. The other is Croaker. Haven't heard of Croaker since. With a 
name like that I wouldn't bet on his chances of surviving the series 
but my guess is that we're going to meet him again and he'll reveal 
something about the Veil.
