The only thing that comforts me about Sirius's death is that he can be with James again. It was always so sad for me that such a close group of friends as James, Sirius and Remus were not properly together, that Sirius and Remus had lost someone so dear to them. I loved how they got all nostalgic when remembering how James used to play with the snitch and deliberately mess up his hair and glance at the girls!
Its just that now I feel sooo sorry for Lupin, my favourite. He has no one left from his circle of best friends! I never ever ever ever want him to die, but I wish that somehow he didn't have to be without them. I don't know how that could possibly ever happen though!!!
About the two-way mirror thing. I had forgotten completely about the gift Sirius gave to Harry and I think JK wrote that really well, in mentioning it at the time, and then not referring to it at all until it was too late. It meant that I really felt that same thing that Harry must have done (not as strongly though), that terrible realisation that if he had only remembered it before, Sirius might still be alive. It was heartbreaking, and really brought home the fact that Sirius was gone forever. I think Harry's reaction to his death was fantastically written and desperately sad. If Sirius didn't come back through the veil when Harry was screaming for him as though his life depended on it, it must mean that he really was gone (welling up whilst typing this!), and that last bit of hope being extinguished with the mirror thing and the ghost thing - though I thought Nick was very vague and annoying there, and I didn't understand why Sirius couldn't come back, from what he said. Although, I read somewhere else that if Sirius chose to come back as a ghost, he would be stuck on Earth forever, which means that once Harry is gone he won't be behind the veil with him. Better to sacrifice a lifetime than eternity. (that made me weepy too!)
"Okay," said Harry, stowing the package away in the inside pocket of his jacket, but he knew he would never use whatever it was. It would not be he, Harry, who lured Sirius from his place of safety, no matter how foully Snape treated hiim in their forthcoming Occlumency classes."
