I agree that Dobby would be trustworth where Harry's concerned.  I can 
also see Dobby being helpful if Lucius has or had a Horcrux, since we 
know from COS that Lucius at one time had some of LV's stuff at his 
house.  But I doubt that Dobby knows that anything in particular is a 
Horcrux, or even what a Horcrux is.

Dobby would bend over backwards to help Harry, but probably has limited 
information or at least, doesn't know that he has information that 
would be valuable to Harry.  I'll be Kreacher knows more, but of 
course, will do everything possible to avoid helping Harry.  
Interesting contrast.

Nonetheless, I can see Kreacher helping, against his will, if there are 
any Horcruxes at Grimmauld Place or if Bella has one and Kreacher knows 
about it.  But I think Harry would have to ask Kreacher something 
direct like, "Does Bella have/keep anything for LV?"  Or, "Do you have 
something that Regulus left?"  Something like that, helping to identify 
the Horcruxes, but I don't know about helping to destroy them.  That 
just might do poor Kreacher in.  :)
