Doddie here:

I always thought that Kreacher was the one individual he could ask for 
something that wouldn't ask questions, or demand anything in 
return...i.e. Kreacher would see how tired and exhausted Harry know he 
had years to hear the story or ask questions, or garner his freedom if 
so desired....if there was one characteristic Kreacher had..it was 
perception...I like to think Harry may have garnered as much 
throughout his ordeals; and perhaps ordered said sandwich to grant 
Kreacher his freedom where upon he refused despite the full outfit 
aside from the hat, and after Kreacher telling his tale; Harry asked 
what Kreacher wanted and then sent him to serve the malfoy family. LOL 
Funny but a free  elf anytime he wanted, Harry's house elf serving the 
malfoy's, probably kept them in check for years to come.(with the 
Malfoy's ever wondering how and why their schemes weren't working and 
never figuring it out!) LOL

I like that..not so much for the houseelves plight...but because 
Kreacher had the last bastion of attachment to the black family and I 
get the feeling that he wants to see it until its end. It also shows 
the "master of said elf" which in my scenario would have been Harry, 
or if a fluke like Dobby...Kreacher... Poor Malfoys, who choose not to 
hire regular employees.

Doddie,
(who often wonders if Hermione did have a word or two with DD 
regarding houselves at Hogwarts...and if this was why the MOM had a 
funded department that included the treatment of house elves and 
finding them placement--probably extremely shameful to them.)
