I need a new copy of COS but as far as I can remember, Ron says something to 
the effect of Molly wishing they could afford a house elf but elves were only 
found in the big mansions. That could imply that the Elves are fixtures of the 
houses as well as being bound to the family that lives there.

Example:  Elves are bound to a family but the family dies off. The elf 
remains attached to the mansion and when/if a new wizarding family moves in, the elf 
then becomes bound to that family.  Hmm its possible that Sirius considered 
his own mortality and made a will leaving 12 Grimmauld Place and all of it 
accouterments (Kreacher included) to Harry.
