Fandom Discussion: Sirius and Disinheritance

[themostepotente]

Okay...

Sirius Black was disowned and presumably disinherited, right?

And I mean, what need of money does one have in Azkaban, right?

In PoA, Sirius buys Harry a Firebolt. This is not a cheap broom, mind you.

So where on fucking EARTH did Sirius get the money for this?

C'mon now, Swiss account? And even if he did still have an active account, I mean, like what the fuck, his financial advisor didn't rob his ass blind?

As funny as I find the idea of Sirius digging for a buried coffee can, the likelihood of his a.) finding it after a thirteen year stint at Azkaban, b.) fuck, I don't have a 'b'.

I'm also assuming he doesn't get willed the house at Grimmauld. He's the only one left in his immediate family, it just passes to him. And it's in such a shambles, is it really worth anything?

Well, yeah -- you get my meaning.

Ideas, people?

U.S. Hardback edition, Prisoner of Azkaban, chapter 22 ("Owl Post Again"), page 433. "Crookshanks took the order to the Owl Office for me. I used your name but told them to take the gold from my own Gringotts vault."

I have a strange feeling Crookshanks is an Animagus. I mean, a cat doing banking? I wonder if Crooky can balance my checkbook :P

Didn't JKR confirm that he's not? I thought she had confirmed that he's half cat, half kneazle, and not an animagus.

Still, no one ever says she's telling the complete truth there.
