What would have been the right way to deal with Kreacher? Obviously Kreacher would reject any overture of friendship from Sirius just as he rejected Hermione's (not that I can imagine Sirius offering friendship to an "inferior" (his own word relating to Winky and Mr. Crouch). And ordering him "Out!" was obviously ill-considered (I'd say "foolish," but I'm trying not to irk the Sirius fans). Should he have ordered Kreacher to stop muttering and do some specific task? It's possible to give an order firmly yet politely. And surely Sirius could have given
him a clean tea towel, making clear that it was not to be regarded as "clothes," and insisted that he wear it. He could also have provided better sleeping quarters and the means of taking a bath. Allowing him to sleep in that den, unwashed and wearing nothing but a filthy loincloth, reinforced his status as a "Creature," not a being but a beast.


SB4E:
 
Who says that Sirius didn't try to get the filthy little bugger to clean up and sleep in better quarters.  Oreven to do something industrious around the house?  Just because we don't see it, doesn't mean that it didn't occur.  Sirius' own mother hated Sirius and Kreacher is still loyal to her.  You think that he's going to just gladly accept anything from Sirius with a "Thank you master"?  Not hardly.  Add to that the fact that he has been living in that place with only the portrait for company for about 10 yrs.  Seems to me that old Kreacher is not only evil, but gone way round the bend and he ain't coming back.  I'm convinced that the best way to deal with Kreacher is to "help" him to join his relatives...  Sirius can't be blamed for Kreacher's actions...that fault lies totally with Sirius' family.  And as we've seen with Dobby, even if Sirius hadn't told him to "get out", if he'd wanted to, he could have went to the Malfoys...after all Narcissa is a Black.
