IMHO, if anyone is responsible for Sirius's death, besides Bellatrix 
obviously, it is Kreacher. He told Harry that Sirius was not there 
when Sirius was in fact upstairs feeding Buckbeak. If Harry knew 
Sirius was there, he would never have gone to the MoM in the first 
place. If Harry wants to avenge Sirius's death, he should destroy not 
only Bellatrix but Kreacher as well. Harry, being the loving, 
forgiving person he is, won't take revenge on Kreacher even though he 
played a huge role in Sirius's death. I don't think that Harry should 
kill anyone - even Riddle in the end. I think, as DD says - there are 
other ways of destroying someone. 

IMHO, I think the ideal thing would be a curse that allows the person 
to feel all the pain, fear and trauma of their victims. Riddle would 
see death speeding towards him over and over and feel the fear that 
his victims felt, feel the pain of each and every Cruciatus Curse, be 
controled by the Imperius curse and feel the effects of every curse 
he's ever used. THAT would be justice. IMHO
