Amber questioned:
"Now why would the goblins in Gringotts allow someone besides the 
owner of the money to access their money? Sure, Sirius probably sent 
his key to his vault, but wouldn't someone question why Harry Potter 
would have the key? Wouldn't someone at Gringotts make the connection 
that it was actually Sirius who sent the order? I mean, considering 
the security that Gringotts is supposed to have, it seems rather odd 
that nobody would find any of this strange or halt the payment."

--Well we've postulated on this before, and I could give you message 
numbers, but that is such a pain, so I'll just give you my thoughts...

The Goblins obviously don't care about the goings-on of wizarding 
society. (It does state this somewhere in FB right?) They've been 
likened to Swiss banks. A criminal can withdraw money and no one's 
going to question it. The goblin's are very apathetic so if they did 
notice they didn't care. (That is how the theory goes...I think.)

Now that we're are talking about Goblins- I was flipping through QttA 
today and found yet another example of rebellion. 

>From "Bring Back Our Baskets!" The Daily Prophet, 12 Feb 1883

"...At this point the Departmental representative was forced to 
retreat under a hail of baskets thrown bt the angry demonstrators 
assemlbed in the hall. Although the ensuing riot was later blamed on 
goblin agitators there can be no doubt that the Quidditch fans across 
Britain are tonight mourning the end of the game as we know it."

So why do Goblins seem to have the constant urge to egg on riots? I 
mean why would they even care about Quidditch? Besides the fact that 
they are betting. 

This brings us back to Amanda's theories that underpaid goblins would 
bring about V.'s downfall.

Hmmm...
