I would love love *love* Sirius to come back in some way in book 7. But I just don't think it's going to happen, especially since JKR has said repeatedly (and doesn't Dumbledore say the same thing?) that once someone is dead there is no way to bring them back. However, we are short one body for Sirius so, maybe? I shall not give up hope until I've read book 7, but, assuming that he is gone for good I wish he'd died in the books by a more substantial curse. *shrug*

So, in other words, I agree with you, too. :))
