Having said that, what *will* happen to Buckbeak now, with Sirius 
gone?  He can't exactly wander back to be with Hagrid again, can he?

I think he'll be exonerated and set free to join his herd. He was not 
intended as a pet - it was only because he had to be hidden. There is 
no reason to keep him tethered anymore.

Constance Vigilance (me):

Actually, there is a reason to keep him tethered. He was/is under his 
own death sentence. He can't be seen any more than Sirius could. If 
you release his tether, he is likely to look for Sirius or try to 
find Hagrid and find himself back under whoever-has-taken-over-from-
McNair's ax.
