Sirius' Uncle Alphard left him a large inheritance, causing Sirius' mother to also remove Alphard's name. He was left financially independent by his uncle's generous bequest. After leaving school, Sirius fought against Voldemort, eventually joining the Order of the Phoenix.
Lucius reveals that Harry only saw a dream of Sirius being tortured; it was a method to lure Harry into the Death Eaters' grasp, not an actual situation.
During The Purity War, Sirius Black was a member of The Order of The Phoenix and gave a confession to being a member of The Death Eaters, and betraying the Potters to The Dark Lady, admitting to putting the Imperius Curse on dozens of other Death Eaters. For his crimes, he was sentenced to Life in Azkaban Prison.
Why did people think Sirius worked with Voldemort?
He was accused of betraying his best friend, James Potter, and his wife, Lily Evans, to the Dark Lord Volvemort. He was blamed for the deaths of Peter Pettigrew and a bunch of muggles. He was said to be the right-hand man of Voldemort.
Sirius Black was believed to be the Potters' Secret Keeper, but he secretly switched with Peter Pettigrew, who turned out to be a mole. James' bullying behavior at Hogwarts and his relationship with Peter contributed to the tragic events that led to the Potters' deaths and the rise of Harry Potter's story.

Why did everyone think Sirius betrayed the Potters?
Dumbledore, Remus, and everyone in on the plan was under the impression that Sirius was the secret keeper. The only possible way Voldemort could've accessed the Potters in order to kill them was if the secret keeper had revealed the information willingly, or else been coerced into doing so.
Dumbledore's lack of belief that Sirius is innocent is also suspect. Sirius was a member of the Order of the Phoenix which fought against Death Eaters, but Sirius also was as close to James as a brother, the Potters even took him in when he ran away from home.
No, he didn't know. That's why Rowling specified that in Vold War One the Death Eaters were organised into cells, with each only knowing the identity of a few of the others. So Snape didn't know Pettigrew was a Death Eater, and he didn't know that Sirius wasn't one.
His help at the Ministry of Magic might result in a smoother mission. Thanks for A2A. No. Sirius had no idea that Harry was a Horcrux, and I think that is one of the kindest things that was done.
Despite all of this, Rowling states that Sirius's "redeeming quality is the affection that he is capable of feeling. He loved James like a brother and went on to transfer this attachment to Harry."
Sirius also disliked Regulus because of his ambition to become a Death Eater, but he was unaware that Regulus later attempted to destroy one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Sirius regretted how young his brother died and wished Regulus hadn't been as soft to go with what their parents told him to do.
Originally Answered: Did Bellatrix feel sorry for killing Sirius? Bellatrix isn't sad about killing Sirius. She taunts Harry about it. Far from showing remorse for killing Sirius, she next stalks her niece, Nymphadora Tonks.
There is always an implicit ire directed at James the most, because as we see in SWM and as Snape's dialogue pretty much everywhere implies, he was the one who lead the bullying. Although he hates Sirius and Lupin quite a bit too.
The silver hand Lord Voldemort had given Pettigrew interpreted his hesitation as weakness and/or disloyalty, and strangled him to death, saving Harry and finally finding redemption for his treason, despite his reputation remained tarnished as many remained dubious of the evidence of his innate bravery.
No, James and Sirius did not apologize to Snape for their bullying, but that doesn't mean they never felt regretful of their actions. They had seven years of mutual antagonism, and they loathed each other to the bitter end.
What happened to the Malfoys after Voldemort died?
Because he and his family defected from the Death Eaters they were pardoned for their crimes after Voldemort's final defeat and did not serve a stint in Azkaban. He and Narcissa later had a grandson, Scorpius Malfoy, after Draco married Astoria Greengrass.
Lucius joined Voldemort and the Death Eaters, using his wealth and influence to support their cause. He was given the task of hiding the Horcrux diary in Malfoy Manor, but ultimately lost favor with Voldemort due to his failure to follow orders.
Based on what Cursed Child lays out, Voldemort would become Draco's uncle (pretending he had married Bellatrix), thus Scorpius' great-uncle, making Delphi be Scorpius' cousin-once-removed.
Sirius Black is introduced in the third Harry Potter installment as the Prisoner of Azkaban, a dark and menacing figure feared by the Wizarding World almost as much as Voldemort himself. Everyone believes he's a mass murderer who betrayed Harry Potter's parents to the Dark Side.
Peter Pettigrew, the Secret Keeper for the Potter family who betrayed them to Voldemort. Sirius Black was originally meant to be the secret keeper for James and Lily Potter, but Sirius thought Voldemort was on to him (he thought that Remus Lupin was a spy), therefore passing on the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew.
