If you have not seen it yet, Leaky Caudron mentions that JKR updated 
her website (Extra stuff section, characters). There is a poem
which Nearly headless Nick was supposed to recite in CoS to tell 
abou this beheading. JKR's editor did not like the song that much at 
that time. :) 

Rita Winston: 
But that poem has been on her website for a long time! It is not a
very good poem, but answers some of our curiosity about Sir Nick, why
he was sentenced to be beheaded, altho' not why he's a Gryffindor
(WHAT courage?). In OoP, Nick seemed not very happy about his 
decision to stay a ghost instead of proceeding into the unknown, and 
I kind of hope he gets a chance to resume that journey, altho' 
nowhere near as much as I hope someone can put Myrtle out of her 
(and our) misery!

It was? Ooops. Sorry! I thought I visited  that section couple of 
times previously and I guess managed not to notice it. I wonder why 
Leaky only talked about it yesterday though.

Anyways, I am stil wondering if Nick will play bigger role in HBP 
and I do agree with you - PLEASE, someone put Murtle out of her 
misery. :)
