Although Sirius was a character I really liked, I guess if I want to see more of him I'm reread the third and fourth books.
I kind of don't believe he's dead in the books and that its a bunch of lies to get you to think he did. Spell kill him? No. The light from the killing curse is green if I remember correctly.The light that hit him was red, or the colour of just normal light. Not green. Of course, if it happens that the correct colour for the curse was red, that washes my little thought down the drain.
Curtain kill him? Not likely.. I doubt a curtain or veil would kill, unless you clunked your head really hard on the ground. Of course, since its magical, it could do anything, including being a portkey. I like that thought. He's not dead he just went away until he can find his way home. Likely? No, but it works in depseration.
About the HBP...
Despite whatever JK Rowling says, I wouldn't rule Mark Evans out. She said the fifth book was smaller than the fourth before it was released. Just because someone says something doesn't make it truuuuuue.
But I don't think it because of the last name, but because of the Sirius thing in the first book. Mentioned once or twice, forgotten about for a while, and there he magically appeared. But then, he was mentioned in the first book, forgotten in the second and appeared in the third. So maybe Mark Evans will follow the dissappearence course and appear in the final book.
What I don't get about that theory is the last name. Unless whoever his mother was wasn't married when she had him, he wouldn't have the last name Evans, since usually married couples take the mans last name. Sure she might have kept her own last name, and he kept his but... Who's last name would the baby have? Both. Mark Evans Whatevertheguysnamewas.
I actually think I say all this because I want to believe its him and I know its not, so I'm trying to come up with logical excuses.
