Wouldn't the whole episode leave  Draco in a huff? How delightful.

Will the WW actually learn of the death of Sirius and how? He fell 
behind the veil but there is no body. (I'm not disputing his death--
not at this moment.) Does the Veil spit out a receipt? There were 
witnesses but no independent ones. As far as I can tell the 
witnesses were DD, Lupin, Bellatrix, Harry and Neville. I think all 
other members of the Order and DEs are unconcious or not in the 
room. Of all the kids, only Harry and Neville are still in the fight.

Sirius was in hiding so his sudden disappearance wouldn't be noticed 
by anyone who isn't supposed to know. If there might be 
complications regarding the inheritance, might DD withhold this 
particular information from the Ministry?  If Sirius is thought to 
still be a criminal on the lam, the situation doesn't change and 
Narcissa or anyone else wouldn't have a claim.

But Kreacher would still be a problem--And who is going to look 
after Buckbeak--up in Mrs. Black's bedroom, turning it into a 
stable??? Kreacher, after all, injured him.

Along with this:  Much has been made of the Death Eaters being 
captured at the Ministry.  But what about the Phoenix members? Will 
it matter that Tonks and Shacklebolt are no longer undercover for 
the Order. Maybe not to everyone. Maybe not officially. But maybe.
