Pippin:
Harry could hardly have given a full account of the graveyard without
mentioning Peter Pettigrew and how he happened to be alive. I
think Sirius's story has been told. 

I don't know that Harry needs to make a physical journey to the
beyond, but if he does, I agree he will need to bring back some kind
of token to show it was a real experience, not a vision or a dream.
But Sirius's body, intact after two years? That doesn't seem right.
Perhaps if it crumbled into dust as soon as it re-entered the world...
