Alla:

Just a small clarification, although I cannot speak for Lizzyben of 
course. I believe that particular phrase of her was in regard of 
Dumbledore possibly immobilizing Sirius during the battle, NOT in 
regard to him being at GP. Although I totally think that he was in 
metaphorical prison at GP, I certainly do not believe that he could 
be killed there.

And well, this interpretation in regard to the battle seems quite 
canon based to me.

I still do not want to believe it and I doubt that it was JKR's 
intention and I do not like to read against author's intent, however 
as I said my basic objection against it is now in my mind completely 
gone. I do not think Dumbledore values ANY life more than his goals, 
therefore as long as I can see canon basis for it, I will accept the 
interpretation. I think Lizzyben explained the battle part well.

JMO,

Alla
