OOP: Umbridge and Kreacher

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here so please excuse if I do something wrong.  
I've read a lot of the posts but there's just no way I can read them 
all so I'm not sure if my questions have been discussed already.

First: Why was Umbridge not sent to Azkaban?  She's getting away with 
attempted murder.  I can ignore all the evil and cruel things she did 
all year and her abuse of power, but shouldn't she go to Azkaban for 
trying to kill Harry and Dudley.  Well maybe not killed, but have 
their souls sucked.  Why didn't Harry and all the other kids who were 
in the room report her to the Ministry?  I know all they have is 
Umbridge's confession, but surely a proper investigation would lead 
to more concrete evidence, or they could use veritaserum on her.

Second:  Is the Order of Phoenix now in trouble now that Black is 
dead?  They were in trouble even when Black was alive because 
Kreacher had no loyalty to him, but Kreacher could not disobey a 
direct order from him.  Now that Black is dead, is he freed or does 
he go to the Lestranges, to the Malfoys, or to Harry who is his 
godson?  Harry is not a blood relative (as far as we know) so I don't 
see him becoming Kreacher's master.  If Kreacher is freed or goes to 
Black's cousins, the secrets of the Order are in jeopardy.  How much 
does he know?
