Fact: Dumbledore's hand is all fucked up in 6 because there was a price to pay for the destruction of one of the horcruxes.
Supportable Fact: In the Death Room in the Dept. of Mysteries, the Veil is a gateway into death; if something/one falls through it, it dies and is gone.
Awesome theory: Dumbledore killed the portion of the soul in the horcrux by passing it through the veil, thus also mostly killing his hand (not totally dead, because still attached to live body).
Relevance: Probably none whatsoever, just fun speculation. However, considering some of the elaborate and/or extremely subtle/skillful setups Rowling creates from book to book to introduce important elements and such, killing Sirius in order to introduce the Veil would not surprise me.
