If Harry inherits, wouldn't that mean that he's been acknowledged as 
Sirius's leagal child?  Could one of his pureblood relatives then 
seek legal custody?  Oh dear!

Hmmm.....maybe he oils his hair down because it stands up too much, 
like maybe James and Harry's does? Possible relation? Of course his 
hair was greasy as a child, too.  Maybe it was something of a family 
thing--didn't want to be associated with the Potters.
