No, let's think about it. When Mrs. Black, Sirius's dear old mum, kicked the
bucket, her only living son was in Azkaban for life--so if convicts can't
inherit, it would have gone to the Malfoys, wouldn't it? But Sirius
inherited it instead. As it stands, Sirius's nearest blood relatives are the
Malfoys, the Tonkses, and Bellatrix Lestrange (ugh!). I think that even if
he doesn't have a will, the house will go to Harry--after all, not only is
he Sirius's godson and wizard guardian, Harry once saved his life, which
indicates a deeper attachment.
