Theory: I believe Sirius Black to still be alive.
On pages 805-806 in The Order Of The Phoenix it states:
"Only a couple were still battling, apparently unaware of the new arrival. Harry saw Sirius duck Bellatrix's jet of red light: He was laughing at her. "Come on, you can do better than that!" he yelled, his voice echoing around the cavernous room.
The second jet of light hit him squarely on the chest.
The laughter had not quite died from his face, but his eyes widened in shock.
Harry released Neville, though he was unaware of doing so. He was jumping down the steps again, pulling out he wand, as Dumbledore turned to the dias too.
It seemed to take Sirius an age to fall. His body curved in a graceful arc as he sank backward through the ragged veil hanging from the arch.
As Harry saw the look of mingled fear and suprise on his godfathers wasted, once-hansome face as he fell through the ancient doorway and dissapeared behind the veil, which fluttered for a moment as though in a high wind and then fell into place.
Harry heard Bellatrix Lestrange's triumph scream, but knew it meant nothing -- Sirius had just fallen through the archway, he would reappear from the other side any second....
But Sirius did not reappear."
In the passage, it states a red jet of light to come from Bellatrix's wand. As you know, in The Half Blood Price, when Snape cursed Dumbledore with the Avada Kedavra spell, a green jet of light came from his wand. I am convinced that Bellatrix merely stupified Sirius, causing him to fall behind the veil, leading him into a state of limbo(I am just guessing on this last part).
