Finwitch:

Yes - because Dumbledore told Harry that it required very *Deep* 
Legilimency to get the truth out of Morfin. Dumbledore just didn't go 
that far with Kreacher because he had to get to the Ministry in a 
hurry, he trusts Snape etc...

However, as it's Narcissa who's there when Snape brags about that - the 
one Kreacher supposedly contacted - she'd *know* Snape was lying. And 
it is possible she had told Bellatrix about Kreacher earlier... It'd 
just be too *obvious* a lie for Snape to be uttering there, so I must 
conclude it is the truth and Dumbledore was - at least in this - 
tricked by Snape. Of course, if Snape tricks Dumbledore in one thing, 
why not all the way...
