What makes you think the goblins knew it was Sirius? The transaction
in HP1 has all that yak-yak because - well - Hagrid is a great fellow
but the biggest aspect to him is not his brain. Subtract Hagrid's
meandering from the HP1 bank scene and what you get it this: present
the key, you get access to the safe deposit vault. So to buy the broom
Serius simply has to walk up to the teller's cage and present his key.
He needn't say a word or present any other forrm of identification.
Simple possession of the key to the vault is _prima fascia_ evidence of
title to the contents inside.
