My thoughts:  I believe in genealogy tables, children are listed left 
to right by oldest to youngest.  Andromeda's burn mark on the 
tapestry was between Bellatrix and Narcissa. It says, "He (Sirius)
pointed to a small burn mark between two names, Bellatix and 
Narcissa."  Assuming Sirius was reading left to right, then Bellatrix 
would be the oldest.  I guess we can assume since she's an escaped 
convict at the moment, she won't try to lay claim to Grimmauld! So, 
then I suppose it would revert to Narcissa, if Andromeda is gone.
