Hmmm.... there is something in the long talk at the end of OOTP 
where I think that the Krecher buisness is explained (pg. 732 in my 
copy, which is English). DD says that he was directly ordered not to 
give away any of the order's secret plans (and now I'm back to 
assuming), most probably, not to anyone outside of it. That would 
include Sirius's mother. It's clear that he HAS been to the Malfoy's 
from exactly the same talk, but he is limited in what he could tell 
them.
