Sirius and his family status

Ok, so in reading some of the discussions going on, I had a the seed of
a question planted in my head and it's starting to drive me
crazy.  It started with the discussion of what the Ministry would
do with people's belonging who were sent to Azkaban and the thought
that belongings might be sent to their families and if Sirius'
belongings were sent to *his* family, what might they have done with
them. 



Ok, so, Sirius' family disowned him for being a Grifindor and turning
his back on the family values or whatever.  HOWEVER, when he ended
up being convicted of being this majorely insane DE who was supposedly
right up there in Voldie's top ranks, who not only betrayed two his
best friends to their deaths, but also blew up an ENTIRE street,
killing a whole bunch of innocent people (muggles among them I believe)
PLUS the 'heroic' Peter....wouldn't that have redeemed him in the eyes
of his family (mother)? 



Like, all of a sudden, their black sheep traitor son is the great Lord
Voldemort's greatest supporter, fighting for the new world order!
Shouldn't he have been, like, the family hero?



Just something I've been wondering.
