what other spells had purple jets?

No- he was basically knocked off his feet by the spell and fell backwards into the veil- the same way Lockheart (I think) was knocked off his feet and thrown backward by expelliamous- atleast I thought someone had.

no, that was a memory charm backfiring

and lockhart says "yes a great spell to show the children but it would have been very easy for me to block"

right, and i think we are WAY underestimating Sirius if we doubt he can block it.

It actually HAD to be Avada Kedavra because of the fear thing- remember that's how they found the Riddle Family? Perfectly health except they were dead, and each had a look of terror on his face? Probably because they hear that wooshing sound it makes coming towards them

i think harry will wake up finding out it was all a dream

lol

that is i think

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold. It's always summer they'll never get cold, they'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray. You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere; they wont make it home but they really dont care. They wanted the highway, they're happy they're there today.

Their children woke up and they could find them; they left before the sun came up that day. They just drove off and left it all behind them. Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Yup, that comment takes place in the 1st or something page.
I don't think that Sirius was shot with the killing spell, as J K Rowling would have described it properly then. Was the reaction on Sirius' first of surprise and then of shock or something.

I think Sirius' mind was not in the battle when Bellatrix casted the spell, so he didn't know that the spell was coming so he got hit. and probably it's some kind of a stunning spell (petrifying, maybe? remember neville when he got petrified by Hermione? he was kind of shocked then he fell over...well, at least in the movie), so he wasn't able to keep himself from falling, and he just fell into the veil.
