I reckon that Kreacher will be in OOTP, but not Dobby or Winky. 
Kreacher's treachery is important, and he gives a sense of Elves as 
beings that make choices for themselves rather than just being willing 
slaves. He is also an amusing character, with a distinctly different 
personality to Dobby. 

I think Winky was dropped from Goblet of Fire because she was 
basically just a female version of Dobby, and so a little redundant. I 
also think Dobby was dropped because he was not really necessary and 
the events did not really advance his character. Neither of these 
problems apply to Kreacher, and he would provide much comic relief in 
the Grimmauld Place scenes. Everyone loved Gollum after all, and 
Kreacher is a similar character.
