I'd disagree there. I thought Sirius was plenty interesting and
complex,
which is why he had to die: I very much got the impression that Rowling
didn't have the skill to deal with him, so killing him was the easy way
out.
And I've never forgiven her.

While I just found him a useful plot tool, but clearly there to
BE disposable and set up some Harry Angst, because she needed to kill
SOMEONE near him to make things believable (Voldemort not being a nice
gentle man) and didn't at that point want to be killing vital
characters like Hagrid, Dumbledore, Ron, and Hermione.

Was it just me or was Hagrid mightily underused in the last book?

I think JKR got bored with him and his odd relationship
with the giants; which is a pity.\
