Eddie:
This interpretation and the variants that have followed since make
sense: whatever the exact motives, Sirius certainly seemed to be
feeling fatalistic.

New question: Where is the motorbike now? Hagrid tried to return it,
couldn't, and then....?  If Sirius only borrowed the bike, doesn't it
really belong to Harry now, inherited from Sirius?
