slytherin4me (forever after known as 'caplock'): You are absolutely right. I was just trying to kinda answer peoples questons by including their brillant questions and insight into the discussions already going on on other boards. K?

**@m@n@d@****: I agree. I think Sirius is totally and irreparably dead but there's a chance that he might be able to communicate to Harry later. We have talked about this on a couple of other boards, particularly the one called 'Is Sirius Dead?' in 'Divination Class...' in 'The Restricted Section' (which, no offence, makes more sense than posting this topic here in 'Slytherin') , but, as I've posted before, JKR's said that communication devices and the fact that OotP members had ways of communicating, will play a role in the future books. If this is something like Sirius's mirror then there might be a chance that we may see our beloved dog-father again.

Please have a look at the other postings on this topic in the 'Divination Class...'.
