Doddie here:

or perhaps upon death the polyjuiced indivdual retains said 
shape....or who knows what spells may have been case during said 
funeral..

snip and doddie once again:

I believe this issue may have been discussed before concerning DD's 
offers to Malfoy in HBP("They cannot kill you if you are already 
dead"...In my honest opinion, this didn't sound like the first time 
DD had mentioned this to some young fool or even an old 
one....perhaps he may have mentioned this to Regulus..if this is 
true...then this is sad for both Sirius and Harry both. (Sirius 
would probably be a much different man had he some family on 
the "good side" he could connect with.)

At the very least, Harry has deceased parents who fought against 
Voldy....Sirius has deceased family that would wish him dead.(hence 
he was blasted of the family tapestry)

(who chuckles at the thought of DD having a conversation with 
Phinneas Nigellus regarding who Grimauld Place would be willed 
to..and was not so helpful hence Kreature showing up at Privet Drive)
