All this talk of entitlements and inheritance goes to the next male 
in line, doesn't that apply only to nobility?  And certainly none 
of the wizards in the Black family line seem to be members of the 
British Peerage.  So, therefore, do the laws of inheritance then 
apply?  If not, then Sirius could have left Grimauld Place and any 
and all of his funds to whomever he wished.  That, if he did make 
out a will, would have been Harry.

I think we need to get in touch with someone who understands the 
British Laws of inheritance.  If there is anyone out there who 
understands all of that legal "mumbo jumbo" perhaps they could 
clear this up.
