bboyminn:

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts (doughnuts) that the next time we
see Kreacher, his head will be hanging on the wall next to his ancestors. 

Upon Sirius's death, Kreacher has no clear allegiance any more. True
there are still members of the peripheral Black family living, but
Kreachers truest allegiance and the bond of his enslavement was to the
direct lineage to which Sirius Black belonged. 

In a sense, the death of Sirius made Kreacher an unattached elf; a
free elf. Logically, he would first seek further
employments/enslavement within the peripheral Black Family, and most
likely with the like-minded Narcissa Malfoy or Bellatrix LeStrange.
Unfortunately for the Order, this nasty little elf knows way too much,
and has already demonstrated a willingness to betray the Order through
technical loopholes in Sirius's orders not to tell anyone anything. 

Kreacher is now a treacherous, dangerous, and uncontrollable liability
to the Order, and I think Dumbledore will feel that he had no choice
but to put Kreacher out of /their/ misery.

Hermione will not be pleased, but such are the fortunes of war.

You heard it here first.

PS: Dollars to Donuts used to be pretty good odds; about 10 to 1. But
with todays inflated prices, there is not much difference in value
between a dollar and a Donut.
