Now Fitzov:

Absolutely agree with you TigerPatronus.  I think JKR has been very coy on the subject of whether Sirius is dead or not.  As an ardent Sirius fan, it has continued to give me hope.

For what it's worth, I also very much agree with the person who thought the clasped hands on the Bloomsbury book cover looked like Harry reaching out to pull Sirius back through the veil; whilst the ghostly boat reminds me of the ferry boat on the River Styx.  The ring is also black, with some sort of pattern (possibly a column on it) and didn't Kreatcher try to rescue a golden ring bearing the Black family crest from Sirius during the 'cleaning' of 12 Grimmauld Place?
