Fun little thought here:

 Kreacher refuses to feed Buckbeak, because he was Siriu's companion... So
Buckbeak gets hungry enough and catches the scummy little House Elf by
surprise and devours him... messily of course.  Kreacher spends the rest of
eternity as a little pile of manure in the corner of the room.

Actually, I can see Sirius as leaving the house to either Tonks, the Order,
Harry, or even Lupin.  In either case, I can also see Lupin moving in so he
has a stable place to live.
