I think that if some thought or memory is *not* right here on the surface of the mind, a legilimens must go deeper into the mind looking for it, like LV did with Gregorovitch. So, I suppose, Kreacher wasn't thinking about the cave, and DD wasn't looking specifically for this memory.

I think Ginny told Neville and Luna that DD left the sword to Harry in his will, and they decided there must be a good reason for it. I have no idea how they intended to deliver the sword to Harry though :-). Maybe it was more of a symbolic act of resistance than anything else? Take the sword, hide it somewhere in the castle (RoR, for instance) and watch Snape and the Carrows run around looking for it, LOL.
