 convince Fudge that he had been killed, though it would probably be 
 necessary to pretend he was fighting for the other side at the time.

mhbobbin:

Why tell the Ministry at all about Sirius--that he was there or that 
he fell through the veil?  Especiallly if the Order members would 
have to pretend Sirius was fighting on the DE side? Why not just 
omit that information? Captive Death Eaters might tell the Ministry 
about seeing Sirius but only Bellatrix was a witness--I think--to 
his death. I base that on only Sirius and Bellatrix were fighting at 
the time of Sirius' death. 

DD is the one that is going to brief the Ministry. Does DD simply 
omit the parts about Sirius?  I doubt the testimony of Death Eaters 
on seeing Sirius would be of much importance, officially. Before 
there can be some legal process on the Inheritance of GP, there 
would have to be some sort of inquiry on the Death of Sirius. That 
is not a foregone conclusion. 

Kreacher, though, is bound by different rules.
