Actually, just having re-read the book...his Uncle Alphard just left 
him some money which he used to get a place of his own when he was 
17...and doesn' specify if it's a house or not...most likely given 
his age and nature I would guess an appartment (pg 111 American Ed.)

No, I think the house the Sirius refers to is good old no. 12 
Grimmauld.  I think you have to keep in mind that it isn't as awful 
as when are first introduced to it in the book...after all a good 
part of the first part of the book is about them detoxifying it.  In 
fact it seems by Christmas it was quite liveable.
