Question: Now that Sirius Black is dead, who gets his house and his
money? 

Harry is, in a sense, Black's de facto son. Black being the godfather,
has taken over the role as father and legal guardian. There are no
actual decendance of Black, so there is no true downward line of
inheritance. We do have a sideways line of inheritance as Mrs. Malfoy
is a cousin and unless I'm mistaken was a Black before becoming a
Malfoy (should really look that up). 

So, does Harry get the money and the house, which includes an nasty
and untrustworth house elf, and would that house elf now have
allegance to Harry as the master of the house, or does the elf become
a free agent now that their is no direct family/Family Name to serve?

Will members of the sideways line of inheritance contest if the money
and house are left to Harry?

Enquiring minds want to know.
