I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I meant to move away from the Sirius's 
death part of theory, but say it was interesting, and into the 
faculty kids/"good slytherin" neck of the woods. It was much vague 
association of similar ideas on my part.  

Yes the HBP could be Sirius's heir. Or instead he could fill one of 
the other roles:
-good slytherin
-faculty family
-dark temptor (maybe for Hermione or politically for Percy)
-link to the Potter family background
