Now Erin challenges:

Really?  And you think Kreacher would have taken orders from- or even 
acknowledged the presence of- Lupin?  Lupin the half-blood?  Lupin 
the werewolf?  

On the contrary, Kreacher hated Lupin along with most of the other 
members of the OotP.  Consider his diatribe in Chapter Six:

"...oh my poor Mistress, if she knew, if she knew the scum they've 
let in her house, what would she say to old Kreacher, oh the shame of 
it, Mudbloods and WEREWOLVES and traitors and thieves..." (emphasis 
added)

No, the spy communicating with Kreacher would have had to have been 
someone that Kreacher respected enough to work with.  For instance, a 
Weasley.  Kreacher's only beef with *them* is that they don't support 
pure-blood superiority.  But what if one of them secretly did?  

Now I wonder which Weasley could secretly be Ever-So-Evil?
