Sirius slipped through a veil but I wonder if he died or just is 
lost, maybe to find his way back?

Unfortunately Sirius is dead. JK Rowling stated that she cried when
she killed him off. I also think Sirius would have found a way to
contact Harry if he were alive. I'd love see some type of reunion
between the two of them similar to characters in Greek mythology
meeting in Hades.

I have always hoped that Sirius was "dead" so that in some way he 
would return and Harry would have the relationship he deserved with 
his Godfather.  However, JKR's comment about how she had cried when 
she killed him off makes me think that maybe he is gone forever!

I wonder what the significance of the mirror is.  What was the point 
of that being smashed at the end?  Was it symbolic - confirming there 
would be no further contact with Sirius?  Or was it just a stark 
reminder that if Harry had not knee jerked when he thought Sirius was 
in danger he had the tools to hand to check without endangering 
either of their lives?

I would like Sirius to return but I would also like DD to return and 
I would like Harry to live happily ever after and for no-one else to 
die.  Me thinks I am not going to get everything that I want!
