But Dobby was treated badly by wizards, who symphasized with 
Voldemort. Therefore him going Dark wouldn't IMO have made much 
sense, since it means he would have gone to the same side as the 
wizards he despises. Kreacher, on the other hand, loved Mrs Black, 
therefore I suppose that, despite of the beheading of house-elves, 
he was treated reasonably well by her. Of course that's just my 
specualtion, but I can't see that someone has that much affection to 
someone, who mistreated him.

The difference is just that Kreacher's master was on the good side 
and fighting for the right cause, while Dobby's was not.

I don't know about Sirius mom treating Kreacher well. You could be 
right of course, but I am not sure that the fact that he loves her 
proves that she was treating him well. Just look at Bella, who 
fanatically loves Voldie and he does not treat her well, IMO.

If we knew for sure that Kreacher WAS treated well by Sirius' 
aprents, then I would probably concede the point that Dobby's 
behaviour was not that different from Kreacher. then both would 
betray the masters who treat them badly, but right now I still don't 
see clearly that Kreacher was treated well.

Just my opinion.
