Oh. But you see I would have no problem if Harry would have beat 
Kreacher into bloody mess, really. Disclaimer, yes, yes, I know 
christian motives, power of forgiveness, etc. Love the themes very 
much, still hate Kreacher, cannot help myself. Purely emotional 
response, I know.

And him being nice to Harry did not help much, unfortunately. The 
picture of Regulus dying for him and Sirius dying because of him IMO 
is too strong in my mind.

The reason why this line sticks out to me is not because I care 
about Kreacher as character at all, as I said I could care less if I 
see his head among those many elves.

It sticks out to me because Harry IS nice to Kreacher in DH, you 
know?


I mean, again, please do not get me wrong, when I say it sticks out, 
it is not I am even especially bothered by it, since I think that 
Harry is  much nicer to Kreacher than he deserves in my opinion.

I just find strange that Harry is content with having a house elf, I 
guess.

As I said, for all the reasons stated upthread, I do not think that 
means that  JKR abandoned the theme or anything.
