Cassy;

That's the answer I choose. Harry (as practically any protagonist in any
heroic tale) has to stand along in the end. Sidekick are permissible, but
not parent/mentor figues (that's why Dumbledore had to go as well,
methinks).Also, Sirius's death should cure Harry from his "everyone's
saviour complex", bacuse before that he managed to achieve almost everything
he set to, save everyone. OK, Harry didn't prevent Cedric from dying, but
it's not that he tried, it happened too quickly. Harry even managed to get
Cedric's bosy back, as well as saving Ginny, Stone, hippogriff and Sirius
from Dementors (Dudley too). He just HAD to fail sometimes.



Sherry:

I don't think it's I or she could have just said that, when she was asked in
an interview why she killed Sirius.  But she said there was an important
reason and that we'd know in book seven.  So, I'm still waiting.  My
personal favorite theory is that since we have not seen his body, Sirius may
come back through the veil.  After all, poor Harry deserves some reward for
killing Voldemort and saving the wizarding world!
