I don't know if this is true; though it does make sense given the 
term HOUSEelf.  But I think that Kreacher was not sent to Hogwarts 
before because he was safer(for the order, I mean) at 12GP.  While 
Sirius was alive, he had to follow Sirius' commands, so it was best 
to keep him near Sirius.  After OOTP, Kreacher has to follow Harry's 
commands, so it is best to keep him near (sortof) Harry.
