his Master, as well as all other Black ascendants and descendants, 
and is now a free agent. Again, I want to emphasize that even though 
I believe Kreacher is a free agent, he is still very loyal and 
dedicated to the Black family.

While I agree in part, Dumbledore is aware that Kreacher went to the 
Malfoys and holds some allegiance to (them)...but that he is bound to 
the manor and the Blacks.  Since that's where the HQ for the Order 
is, Dumbledore must have his reasons for trusting Kreacher...to an 
extent at least.  Wouldn't the possibility of Kreacher's allegiance 
to Harry change things a bit?  I don't think that Hermione will 
continue her quest to free the House Elves.  I do think that the only 
one who will be able to persuade Kreacher will be Dumbledore.  Would 
not Harry as Sirius' godson be heir to Grimald Place?  If so, then 
Kreacher would have to answer to him. Correct?   Hmm...that would put 
a different spin on things if Kreacher would also feel a sense of 
allegiance to Draco, eh?
