I don't see Sirius's death having to do with Harry choosing what is easy over what is right. (I take "right" in Dumbledore's speech to mean morally right and not just the most clever, since otherwise it's not about morality.) Harry got tricked by Voldemort and made a terrible mistake, but he didn't do anything ethically wrong or easy. His intentions were good, there was no easy choice. I wouldn't describe his mistake as doing what was easy instead of doing what was right in either sense of the word. In this case the easier choice of letting the adults take care of it would have been smarter.
