This has indeed been discussed, but it is also explained
to Harry by Dumbledore at their end of book discussion.

Near Christmas when Arthur Weasley is attacked, Sirius
ordered Kreacher 'OUT!', and Kreacher took that as 
meaning get out of the house. So, Kreacher went /out/ to 
the only /available/ member of the Black family that he 
respected which was Narcissa Black-Malfoy. From her, 
Kreacher's information reached Voldemort. 

Kreacher had been ordered not to reveal any information
about the Order, or what was happening in the Black House.
But Sirius, not taking Kreacher very seriously, negelected
to prevent Kreacher from revealing minor more indirect 
information, like  the fact that Harry and Sirius were 
close, and that Harry was very likely to come to Sirius's
aid regardless of the circumstances or danger. Voldemort 
used this minor, apparently insignificant information to 
lay at trap for Harry.

Again, Dumbledore explains it all near the end of the
book.
