JW:
We don't see a whole lot of folks returning from death.  Why would 
JKR start with Sirius, and skip James, Lilly and DD?  BTW, I do not 
believe that JKR supports the idea that heroism deserves compensation.

My guess - let me re-state that as *GUESS* - HP figures out how to 
take a quickie (not really dead) trip to Vailsville, and gets 
important info from Sirius.  But why didn't Sirius provide this info 
earlier?  Perhaps it is something subtle enough so that its 
importance was previously overlooked.
