Keep in mind that there is a separate G10,000 ($75,000) reward for
Sirius. Now that is a gruesome reward. Because of the need to keep
Sirius's death a secret for the security of the headquarters of the
Order, and to stave off any claim to the estate, I don't see thie
reward coming into the picture for a long time. 

Me -

I'd totally forgotten that there even *was* a reward out for Sirius. I just
meant that Remus might associate any reward money due from the excursion to
the Ministry with Sirius' death since he died while they were capturing
those DEs. I can't really see Harry wanting any of that reward either for
that matter.

As for the reward on Sirius ... I can't see the Ministry handing that out to
anyone without a body. They might be convinced that he was there and was
innocent and got killed if Dumbledore chooses to try and convince them of
that but I can't see any bureaucratic institution handing out a large chunk
of gold as a reward without getting the 'criminal' in question in return
(dead or alive). If the Ministry is anything like most muggle governmental
institutions then getting money out of it is probably like getting blood out
of a stone under the best of circumstances.
