Yes, I think you are right. And so much turned on the plot in OotP about Kreacher lying. So that has to be addressed in Book 7.
Also: in GoF: Sirius said (about Barty Crouch's mistreatment of Winky) that you can tell a man's character by how he treats his underlings. Yet he treated Kreacher with contempt; it was part of what led to his downfall. I want that discrepancy to occur to Harry. Part of his task in Book 7 is learning how to forgive, including Kreacher and Snape.
