This so much. The character only died so there would be a end-of-book tragedy that's bigger than Goblet's, and to give the book some depth, and to maybe signal to readers that nobody is safe anymore, any character now can die. Sirius is more than that and could've easily survived to have his freedom and be a father figure to help Harry after Voldy's death. Urgh * angry face *
