yes he does deserve an Order of Merlin, First Class and I’m sure Harry made sure that happened
I’m 100% certain that the new Minister for Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, knew Sirius deserved it too, and at some point the conversation went like this:
Kingsley: … thought you might accept the Order of Merlin on Sirius’ behalf
Harry: I’m terribly sorry, Minister, but given how Sirius felt about the Ministry, I’m afraid I’m going to have to tell you to stick it up your arse.
Kingsley: *wiping a tear* It’s what he would’ve wanted.
This is everything
Sirius Black deserved an Order of Merlin, First Class. If Peter Pettigrew got one for simply simply CONFRONTING Sirius and supposedly getting blown up, Sirius deserves one for risking his soul again and again to expose a dangerous servant of Voldemort who lurked at Hogwarts, for going into the Ministry and giving up his life to save his godson and for his (probably heroic) actions in the FWW. For that matter, he also deserves a public apology. Sometimes I think JKR just doesn’t care about him.
