I was also thinking that Kreacher might have at some point or another 
given it to Bellatrix, which would provide 1) an evil obstacle to be 
overcome in obtaining the locket and 2) a nice excuse for a Harry v. 
Bellatrix face-off.  Additionally, as a dispute over the Black 
inheritance, it would underlie the whole "blood vs. bond of love" 
theme.  Would it belong to Harry the adopted heir or Bellatrix the 
blood relative?  See "Will and Won't" for the first battle in that 
war...
