Thanks Shaun, I'm still confused, but less confused. I REALLY REALLY
would like to see that next book to find out if this issue is even
going to be addressed. Personally, I can't see how it could possibly
be ignored.

Well, that's not completely true. Until it becomes public knowledge
that Sirius is dead, it will not have to be dealt with, but
none-the-less at some point it will have to be dealt with.

As it stands, I have to agree, that by Common Law, it seems that Draco
is the rightful heir. He is the closest male relative on an equal or
lower/younger level on the family tree (appearently, inheritance
rarely moves up the family tree).

But somehow, I have to believe that Harry gets something out of this.

I do beleive that with all that time on his hand, and concern for
Harry, Sirius did take the time to write a Will while at Grimauld
Place. Although, I doubt that he called in his Solicitor to look it
over and make it official. 

Could provide a nice backdrop for on-going conflict between Harry and
Draco.

Thanks for the link.
