Kreacher & The Prophecy (was Re: Kreacher)

Susan again:
I also have to question how "simple" or even
permissible it would be 
to remove someone's memory entirely!  It strikes me as
an AWFULLY 
drastic & likely unethical thing to do to someone. 
And if we're 
talking about treating creatures more carefully &
respectfully, then 
just deciding to REMOVE a memory because the creature
seems dangerous 
hardly seems an example of such treatment.


Tyler:
Thats a good point.  I actually feel kinda ashamed now
and Kreacher's just an imaginary character!  

Maybe they should have just freed him though,  when
they first arrived at number 12.  Y'know,  just
dismiss him before he even has a chance to ask Sirius
why he's returned.  Even if he did go to Narcissa at
that point,  what difference would it have made? 
Dumbledore's secret keeper so the DEs couldn't find
the place anyway.  In a way,  it would be kind of
poetic:  once again,  LV would know where his enemies
are but would have no way to get to them.  And this
time there would be no traitor to hand them over.  I
can just imagine how ticked Voldie would be in that
scenario!  :)

Something else in regards to OotP:  why was the Order
bothering to guard the prophecy in the first place?
The only information LV could have gained from the
second half of the prophecy is that Harry will have
power that he has not and that one of them must kill
the other.  The power LV knows not is love.  I'm sure
he already knows Harry has a big heart (he knew he'd
come to rescue Sirius because of his love).  And the
latter is nothing LV couldn't have guessed. 
Obviously,  if only one person has the power to
destroy you,  in the end,  it will come down to a
battle between you and that person.  Am I missing
something?  Why the prophecy such a big deal?
