Bart:
	Of course, one has to define "dies" and "resurrected". I think that 
Sirius is alive, behind the Veil (as he is still in his body). That does 
not mean that he can be brought back, but, let's say, just for 
arguments' sake, that Harry pulls Snape with him through the Veil (not 
such an off-the-wall theory, as it fits in quite well with the theme of 
free will, or choice, overcoming Prophecy). This could set up the 
scenario for a double sacrifice, where Sirius, this time voluntarily, 
allows himself to be doomed, for real this time, to get Harry back to 
our side of the Veil. I doubt that will be what really happens, but I 
daresay it WOULD be satisfactory to the readers.
