I always thought that when Harry next returned to Grimauld Place he 
would find Kreacher's head up on the mantel next to all the others.  
Without any indication from canon whatsoever my brain just naturally 
assumed that would be the end result of Kreacher's tangling with 
Dumbledore.  Dumbledore couldn't let Kreacher return to the Malfoys 
(or Bellatrix for that matter)and having "taken care of the problem" 
he at least would have had the generosity to give Kreacher the 
dignity of being stuffed and mounted like his forebears.  Silly and 
completely not supported by canon I know but it was the first thing 
my brain came up with.
