The "Blacks" may be dead, but there are other family members alive, 
kicking and killing...  Bellatrix was Sirius' cousin and we know what 
she did to him.  It was dear Narcissa (Bellatrix's sister?) that 
Kreacher conspired with to set up Harry and Sirius, was it not?  I 
must apologize because I cannot remember the exact 
lineage/relations.  I know they are all on the Black family tree.  
Kreacher is bound to the family, more than the house it seems.  At 
least as far as he is concerned, since he snuck out (remember when 
Sirius told him to get out and Kreacher used it to leave the house, 
instead of just leaving the room?)to inform them of the goings on at 
Grimmauld Place, and that Sirius was living there.
