Alla:

I had seen you making this prediction in the past and still cannot 
figure out what narrative purpose for the story that would serve.

Now, let's obviously get out of the way my wish for Harry bringing 
Sirius back alive, that is not likely to happen at all, but I do not 
see why 
Harry would take Sirius body back if he is properly dead and cannot 
return. Situation with Cedric was a lot different, no? In a sense 
that 
his body was not beyond the veil or whenever it is supposed to be, 
but 
in the world of living.

If Harry meets Sirius in the underworld and Sirius is properly dead 
( 
as I said I am still wishing for the opposite, but I realise that 
this 
is not realistic), would it not make more sense for Sirius to stay 
there?

To help Harry with advise, etc, and stay there, since he is already 
in 
there and symbolism of burying his body would be meaningless IMO of 
course, since for all intents and purposes his body is already there.

That is just of course my opinion, but Harry bringing Sirius body 
back 
from where it is already belongs, would feel like mockery to me.

I think that if Harry goes to Underworld, he will certainly meet his 
loved ones, but they will stay there and Harry would find some other 
way to get back, although I certainly would not mind Steve's 
variation 
of this one - namely Sirius being able to come back alive, heheh.

JMO,
