Sorry this took so long. Sirius did use owl-order of some kind; in his
letter to Harry at the end of PoA, he says "Crookshanks took the order
to the Owl Office for me. I used your name but told them to take the
gold from my own Gringotts vault."

Which leads to the interesting question of why the goblins would allow
access to anyone's vault who was not the owner, unless the owner
authorized it. And if Sirius authorized it, why was this contact not
reported to the authorities during the whole (pardon the expression)
witch hunt for him? This adds some credence to my other post on the
goblins--they are a breed apart from the wizarding world, and not
terribly concerned with their laws. Gringotts has its regulations.
Patrons of Gringotts must follow them. Patrons who abide by the regs can
do business. Even dangerous wanted murderers.

Wonder if Voldemort has a vault. Wonder if he's been accruing interest.
Wonder if it's a war chest.

Thoughts?
