Siriusly Snapey Susan again:
"I may be wrong, but I'm not uncertain."  Ahhhh, a noble creed,
Kneasy.  I'm such an over-cautious,
don't-want-to-offend-anyone-with-my-views kind of person that I could
take a lesson or two from you in this. ;-)

I love the "Heathcliffe of Grimmauld Place" asignation; a very
evocative picture that paints!  

So, Kneasy, since you like us Siriophiles to come out & play, I'll
have to ask you to weigh in on this one.  Should Sirius have been more
forward-thinking in regards to Kreacher?  Should he have known the
danger of having him about and dismissed him, consequences to Kreacher
be damned?  Was this more arrogance on Sirius' part, his rash belief
that he could control Kreacher?  Or is Pippin right, that Sirius kept
Kreacher out of a sense of obligation...displaying, perhaps, a bit of
the NOBLE Black?
