I 
fail to understand why this would be some great cop out on the part
of 
JKR, who has given us plenty of clues that Sirius didn't 'die' a 
normal death.  

GEO: Except Rowling has constantly said that there are limitations 
to magic in the Harry Potter Universe and one of those limitations 
that she specifically imposed was that people couldn't be 
resurrected from the dead by the use of magic.

Plus considering how she was saying that there was a major death in 
OOTP, I would consider it cheating on her part if she reversed the 
death or rewrote it so that Sirius didn't actually die.

GEO: Harry and Voldemort didn't exactly cheat death. The two of them 
had powerful magical protections that made it impossible for 
Voldemort to actually die and for Harry to be immune from 
Voldemort's killing curse. It's a different story all together if 
you have someone that actually died coming back from the dead.
