Dursleys are watching when Kreacher is summoned.  Harry has learned to "pretend he 
doesn't exist" when they're around; moreover, awful things tend to happen when Dursleys 
and magic co-exist in the same room.  Of course his emotional reactions will be 
suppressed in this scene.  (He doesn't blow up when Uncle Vernon casually refers to Sirius' 
death either, no matter how much that bothers him.)
