Could Kreacher be a spy?

Petra:
This occurred to me when I first read HBP too - after all, there would 
be advantages to Kreacher and those he remains loyal to.  However, we 
saw no advantages to the dark side to come from Kreacher pretending 
that Harry is his master.  Did we?

One possible advantage to such a pretense would be that Bella would 
have furtive access to Number 12 since she would be the true owner. 
Are there evidence to that?  If Bella is able to penetrate the Order's
headquarters, I cannot imagine she wouldn't have done so.

Petra:
Probably because the Malfoys would be the kind of elf owners who would
insist on that sort of punishment.  A punishment that may very well be
permissible within elf enslavement but perhaps not integral part of it.
