This being the case, the house could be moved again.  Any time the 
Order was looking to be in a better location or near some place they 
needed to protect and watch.  Why not move it to Hogsmead now.  They 
no longer need to be right on top of the MoM.  They might be in need 
of protecting Hogwarts.

"No, no, house-elves can't leave unless they're given clothes, 
they're tied to their family's house," said Sirius (OotP pg 504, US 
ed)  Not that Sirius couldn't be wrong, but I still think that 
Kreacher would have already gone to Narcissa if he could have. After 
all, Sirius had been "dead" to the family for more years than he was 
in Azkaban.  And I'm still not convinced that Regulus is in fact dead.
