I wonder if you're actually capable of disinheriting someone in a wizarding family, whether you personally disown them or not. Does it actually say anywhere that he was disinherited, or just disowned?
Considering how much stock they place in bloodlines, it wouldn't surprise me if inheritance runs straight down the line of succession, no matter how a particular family member feels about their offspring.
In POA or GOF one, Sirius says he got the money for the Firebolt from his Gringott's account. (More precisely, Crookshanks orders the broom for him using his Gringott's account, which poses its own logistical difficulties.)
So obviously he had some funds that no one, not even his family, could tap. Perhaps Gringott's accounts are blood-keyed? As to where he got them, either Stubby Boardman did well during the hair-band years, or Sirius had some portion of his inheritance that couldn't be touched. Do wizards have trust funds?
