I agree with Ximena on the first point, that Kreacher can't tell 
anyone where the Order's HQ is not only b/c of the secret-keeper 
spell, but also b/c, on the one occasion that Kreacher did leave, he 
was obviously unable to tell anyone the Order's location, b/c I'm 
certain that if he could have, he would have.  On the second point, 
Kreacher being able to put Snape in danger, he obviously can't, 
otherwise, he would have done so while he was with the Malfoys.  
And, even if he could, Snape could probably just say that he was 
spying on the Order for Voldemort.
