Right here goes, I think I might be unpopular after this and I 
accept that I have little right to criticise as I am a student 
and not an author but... I thought that Sirius's death was lame. 

-Pause while you gasp with shock-

I mean he was Harry's mentor/surrogate father/best friend and a key 
character (I thought) for the future books and instead of dying 
bravely in battle he falls through a doorway!

I can hypothesise that JK may have been trying to demonstrate the 
frailty of life or how the dead are still close to us. But I feel 
that it could have been expressed in a more dramatic and fitting 
way.

I mean, what's next? Harry dying due to a heavy sneeze? Neville 
being killed by a cactus? Dumbledore swallowing a fatal Arsenic 
flavour Every Flavour Bean?
