Elihu answers:

Maybe it's because Dumbledore is worried after the whole Bertha Jorkins 
incident. Barty Crouch Sr. put a memmory charm on her, yet Voldemort 
got the imformation which was being hidden anyway (about Barty
Crouch's son).

Tyler answers:

The thing is, if Kreacher's memory was totally removed
and he couldn't remember any of Black's relatives then
he wouldn't be able to find them on his own.  And the
odds that he would come across them by accident are
pretty slim.  Of course,  if they didn't want to take
any risk at all,  after modifying his memory why not
employ him at Hogwarts?  None of the DE's would find
him there.  Its also doubtful that Draco has ever been
in the kitchens and even if he does go down there for a
midnight snake on occasion,  he wouldn't recognize the
elf.  He's never met him (as far as we know).
