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!



(Jennifer (me): only if he is considered an heir for intestacy purposes is
this a concern- i.e. he would have had to have been legally adopted to take
through intestacy.
If he is DEVISED the property through a Will- he need not have been a child-
or even a relative of Sirius.  There is of course the slight problem that
he's a minor- and minor's generally can't own property in their own name
(i.e. have to have a legal guardian of the estate or trust set up)- this is
the USA's laws I'm rambling about, however- possibly the UK is different.
