Andromeda now:
  I'll agree with you (Fitzov) that Sirius' return wouldn't 
necessarily be a cop-out.  After all, we didn't see him die, we only 
saw him disappear.  There was no killing curse, no body.  Just a 
quick sail through the veil... where did his body go?  I don't 
expect him to come back, but wouldn't be disappointed if he did!   
But JKR did say that there was a "reason" for Sirius' death, so it 
may all be hopeless.
