I know I'm a little behind replying here (this post got a lot of replies!), 
but I wanted to throw in my two knuts:

My greatest fear is that there will be no further resolution of, meaning in, reason/explanation for Sirius' death, other than death is unfair, arbitrary 
and random. (I know many of you will disagree, but that reason just doesn't 
cut it for me!) Sirius doesn't have to stroll back through the veil, talk to 
Harry through the 2-way mirror, lead Harry on a journey into the veil to talk 
to James and Lily, communicate in/through dreams, or even make an appearance 
at all, if he is indeed "properly" dead (is he? - my secret wish is that 
he is quite alive and will be coming back), but I at least need more reason 
than he died because that's the way life (and death) is. That's the way "real" 
life is, but HP is not real life (no matter how much we argue the parallels 
between the two worlds :))!  JKR can do whatever she wants. That's what makes 
it special, IMHO.

Many people have mentioned their fear that Harry will meet his end at the 
series' end.  While I hope and hope that Harry does get the chance to lead a 
normal, happy life, free of the burden he now carries, I am not sure I would 
be too sad if he dies.  He would be reunited (at least I think so) with James 
and Lily and Sirius (if he is really dead ;)). I would like to see how JKR 
would write it and what kind of take she would have as she has lost a parent, 
and, I suppose, wonders what it would be like to be reunited.

who is extremely sentimental and readily admits it, and who is also relatively 
new here and marvels at how the wonderful and insightful digests just keep 
coming to her Inbox even though a new HP book has not been published in well 
over a year, and who is excited to see what happens here when HBP is released!
