James:

That sounds quite likely to me, but I have to wonder- why? I could see
the Black Family Estate being important, as the headquarters of the
Order could be in question - but as for Sirius's vault... Harry has
plenty of money, we've known this since his first step into the WW, so
I can't see how Harry realizing he has access to Sirius's vault is
going to be particularly important. Although, if it is a top-security
vault like vault 713, perhaps there's something else hidden in it. Any
thoughts on what important magical artifact could have been in the
possession of Sirius? (And why he wouldn't have already given it to
Dumbledore, for that matter).
