Needless to say I have SAD DENIAL written accross my forehead. I 
think Sirius being really dead would completely ruin the whole 
story, and why would JKR do that to her books? There must be another 
explanation. Maybe not this one, but who knows... There must be a 
plot twist coming.


Corgi:
 
My personal theory concerning Sirius' death, especially after J.K.'s insistance that it was a necessary one, is that Sirius' falling through the veil is forshadowing how Harry ends up killing Voldemort without staining his soul with the killing curse.  Maybe it's farfetched, but the way J.K. brings things up it's a possiblity along with the 'he never died' theory a lot of the fanbase has.
