I am in perfect agreement with LupinLore here.  Harry was furious and 
then suddenly he seems more annoyed with being Kreacher's master.    
It is quite frustrating to go from hating Kreacher to using him to 
spy.  If it were me I wouldn't ever speak to the animal again and I 
would find a way to make him as miserable as possible.  He betrayed 
someone Harry loved and the only person Harry has really been able to 
relate to as a parent.  At least during the part where Kreacher and 
Dobby are fighting Harry could have stunned Kreacher and let Dobby 
get a few free hits in :) I think JKR has gotten to the point where 
she needs to advance the story to get it resolved by the end of book 
7 but in the process has taken certain "liberties" and has sacrificed 
emotion some key subplots.
