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.

My thoughts:

One thing... Fudge has proved himself to be a real pain and capable 
of "closing his eyes" to about anything.  Wasn't he either a witness 
or one of the first on the scene of the whole Pettigrew/Sirius 
scenario?  I've often wondered if he saw more than he was saying, 
but politically (who would believe Pettigrew would do such a thing, 
etc.) things were better to lay the blame on Sirius, who probably 
didn't do much to defend himself, anyway.
