3. kreacher goes to the nearest blood relative. dunno if that would be bellatrix or narcissa. bellatrix would be a problem cause she escaped azkaban, but if she is the closer relative ( i think they were actually sisters, so they'ld be considered equal) and that theorie is right, it's still the law. even though malfoy is (was) in azkaban narzissa wouldn't be in any trouble (i don't think) and could take kreacher in. would make a good replacement for dobby.
the third idea i think was mentioned by someone else before me. so, which one do you think is most likely (if any at all)?

I agree with the 3rd theory & to some extent, the 2nd. Kreacher would most likely go the nearest blood relative.. I don't have my book with me, but was it bellatrix whose closest to him, and to whom he last went, when Sirius chased him out? Then, if it was, I agree he'd flee to her. I also promote the idea that he'd become a useful source of information to the Dark Side if that were to happen.
However, to prevent Kreacher seeping all their secrets, DD & the others would have to prevent him from returning to any of his relatives. If that be the case, where would they keep him? They might introduce some new scenery in the upcoming books, and they can take him there.. or even confine him in to Grimmauld Place. Therefore, they'd have to keep Grimmauld Place.
If Sirius left Grimmauld to Harry, what could Harry have done with it?? I don't doubt they may find reason to get rid of it, especially with the MoM on their side now, who can provide Dumbledore & the others with more secure HeadQuarters. As well, I don't think Mrs Weasely, Harry, Hermione & the others put so much effort into fixing the place up, while they were there, to just easily leave it..
