bboy_mn:

I understand that the Godparent role is a religious thing. For
us(Lutheran), it usually something that comes with Baptism; that's
when Godparents are assigned. And it is extremely rare that a
Godparent will ever have to assume their role; very rare indeed.

But in the case where a Godparent does become the legal guardian, does
that give the Godchild any rights within the Godfamily? 

Does joining the Godfamily make you 'family'?

I do agree with the nearest male relative being the most likely and
logical person, and as you pointed out, that person is Draco. But I
have to believe that either there will be a huge battle between Harry
and Draco over this issue, or the issue will be completely ignored. 

Completely ignored seems a bit dull. There are people on the Dark side
that know Sirius is dead, and if they somehow think they can disrupt
the Order by pursuing this estate, I have to believe they would do it.
Plus, an influx of money and property would probably be good for
Voldemort.

Where does Voldemort get his money anyway? ...or does he live off the
kindness of strangers? 

Just a few thoughts.
