I agree. I don't think JK would just randomly put the Veil just to make us think. I definitely think we'll see more of it in the next two books. She was very vague about it though, it definitely made me think of what its future purpose might be, though I do believe that Sirius is definitely dead.

However, I remembered in Star Wars (yes, I'm a Star wars geek too

), when Vader killed Obi Won Kenobi, but Obi Won came back "more powerful then you could ever imagine." I thought maybe something like this could happen with Sirius? Just a thought, an unlikely possibility.

It's also interesting to remember Luna's words..I don't remember them exactly but it was along the lines of-- "They're not gone, didn't you hear them behind the veil?" Also cause to think..

OKay, once again I have contradicted myself. Bleh!
