Now AP:

But Kreacher went to Narcissa when Sirius ordered him out.  And she 
apparently gave the information Kreacher told her about the 
relationship between Harry and Sirius to at least Lucius, maybe 
Voldemort himself, to help set into motion the plan that led to Harry 
being lured to the MoM and Sirius' death.  It seems to me that she 
recognized the value of that information for Voldemort's purposes or 
she wouldn't have bothered to mention it over supper ("Guess who 
dropped in today?").

I *do* think she could be developed as an interesting character in 
the next two books, whichever side she is on.
