Then Jen: 

I see the theory from this angle, Sirius helping Harry return
from behind the Veil and helping him live again--it's a nice idea in
that respect.

Now va32h:

Yes, I like that idea as well. A popular theory is that Harry would be 
happy to sacrifice himself in the end, because he'd be with his parents 
and Sirius. But Sirius could convince him that he (Harry) has a life 
and a future awaiting him, and that eternity with Mum & Dad isn't the 
best way to make use of the sacrifice they made to save him. Well, 
James and Lily could say that as well, I suppose. But Harry actually 
knows Sirius better, and would, I think, be more inclined to listen to 
him "man to man". 

Not sure I'm liking the Voldemort-possession aspect of that theory, 
however.
