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!



Sherry now:

The fact that JKR cried when she killed him off isn't convincing proof to me
that he won't come back.  She could have cried from the sheer emotion of the
scene, the effect on Harry, the effect on the fans, any number of things.
She has often said that dead means dead, so though I have a little hope for
Sirius, I don't let myself have too much.  The only way I could see around
it would be if he isn't really dead but is in some sort of in between place
where he will have to choose to come back or to move on.  I want Harry to
have Sirius back in his life, the person his parents chose to be his
godfather and guardian, the connection to his parents.  I just try not to
think about it too much, so I won't be disappointed.
