A home that looked at him and thought, you'll have to do. Would it hate him now too, now that he'd turned his back on everything his parents had stood for? Does he mind? Should he mind?
Kreacher won't hate him. That gives him enough peace of mind to finally let go of Sirius, although Sirius still has hold of him.]
