    As far as Sirius is concerned, Dumbledore still has no proof of his 
innocence.  And, he has no body to prove Sirius is dead.  All of the 
people who saw him fall through the veil could swear to it or sign 
affadavits or do whatever the Ministry thinks is appropriate, but, is 
that enough?  Which is not to say the Dumbledore wouldn't 
say, "Sirius Black fought with us and died."  He might perhaps 
persuade Fudge to stop wasting Auror time looking for Sirius.  But, 
as for getting a formal posthumous clearing of his name?  I don't 
think that's in the cards yet. 

My thoughts:
    I think that, now that the Ministry and wizarding society know that Voldemort is alive and well, and has his death eaters ready and willing to join him in his war, they know that Harry and Dumbledore were telling the truth all along. I think that if Harry and Dumbledore were to explain the situation about Sirius- how Pettigrew became the secret keeper, about the mix-up with the Muggle Massacre, and maybe a few details about how they were unregistered animagi (since James and Sirius are dead, and Peter is no good)- so the world would know how easy it was for him to hide- then it does make sense and I think, with Harry and Dumbledore's reputations being restored, they'd be believed. Especially Dumbledore- since he is probably the most respected wizard in the world anyway.
