It occured to me, after really thinking about certain events in OOP,
that there is a plot problem in Kreacher's betrayal of Sirius.
We find out from Dumbledore near the end of the book that Kreacher
had taken Sirius's "get out" literally and had left the house. The
only place Kreacher thought to go was to family (that is family that
Sirius's mother still liked before she died), and so he went to
Narcissa Malfoy, who is Bellatrix' sister. According to Dumbledore,
Kreacher couldn't tell Narcissa where the Order was located because
only the Secret Keeper (Dumbledore) could reveal the house's
location. My question is, since Narcissa's mother was Sirius'
cousin, wouldn't Narcissa and her sister Bellatrix (the escaped
Death Eater) both have visited the house sometime in the past in
order to visit their relatives? Maybe they weren't close enough to
visit each other, but I'd be surprised if that were the case.
Wouldn't they already know where the house is located, Secret Keeper
or not, because they'd been to it before?
Anyone have a plausible explaination for this?
