It was Snape who ultimately saved their lives by alerting the Order to what Harry had seen; Sirius, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody, and eventually Albus Dumbledore, arrived at the Ministry and began battling the Death Eaters in the Death Chamber. Black was seen fighting bitterly with an unknown Death Eater. Then he pushed Antonin Dolohov, which tried to curse Harry and use the Summoning Charm on the prophecy. Dolohov tried to use the same curse on Sirius, but Harry placed Dolohov under Body-Bind.

It would be years before Harry could fully come to terms with the loss of his godfather. Harry had a hard time dealing with this loss because, as Dumbledore flatly stated, Sirius was the "closest thing to a parent" Harry had ever known. Harry also blamed himself for Sirius's death.
