Kreacher is no different than any other character in the book -- "It 
is our choices that show what we are."  And Kreacher is, in my 
opinion, to quote someone  else, "a revolting little toerag," (snip)

the choices he did, then Kreacher could also.  


Tonks:
Well I suspect that DD is looking at the fact that Kreacher is not a 
free agent. True, at one time Dobby was not either. Dobby had to 
*betray* his Master to do what he did. Kreacher on the other hand 
was true to the family that he served and was raised to have the 
same values as they did. I am not standing up for him mind you. I am 
just saying that I can understand why DD would say that Kreacher is 
what others have made him.
