[HPforGrownups] Kreacher and SPEW

Awesome post! I think you might have shorted Sirius a
tiny bit (his dislike of Kreacher is well set out in
his familiarity with Kreacher and the elf's
maintaining an ugly and fanatic loyalty to Sirius'
insane mum - he knows too well that Kreacher can't be
redeemed), though in fact Sirius has blinders on too -
if he had given Kreacher a bit more credit, he might
have clamped-down on him harder. Harry gave him a
clue, and got him thinking about the "independently
acting" elf thing, but he got sidetracked.

Are sure we are talking about the same Kreacher and
Sirius Black.  I think that Sirius was very aware of
Kreacher and gave him plenty of credit... 

Some quotes to back this up:
On page 102 U.S. edition Hermione says and I quote
"Kreacher's really old and he probably couldn't
manage-"  Sirius replied saying, "You'd be surprised
what Kreacher can manage when he wants to Hermione."

NOw at face value this is a comment about
cleaning..but I want to take it a step further and
saying that Kreacher is not the psychotic, helpless
Houseelf that he appears.  

There are plenty of other times when Sirius asked
Kreacher many of these same things...but no response
comes.  If he did not think that Kreacher was a
possible threat he wouldn't have gone out of his way
to make sure that all of the order secrets were being
kept.  But he did.  The little things he used to
betray sirius with are such incidental things that it
wouldn't be make sense for him to comment on them. 
Unless of course he had told Kreacher not to mention
anything that was ever said about Harry.  But you know
you can't change the past.
