I don't understand the use of "bent" in this context. I've looked up 'bend' in this dictionary. But it seems that no definition could fit in my view. What's 'bend' supposed to mean in this context?
I think that meaning 4 in Lexico fits the usage.
bend1
VERB4 Direct (one's attention or energies) to a task.
He bent his thoughts to see if he could pick up on Chanet's thoughts.
For several years he bent his efforts to the building of a railroad through the County.
When his choice was made he bent his attention to the table.
So the sentence means that Kreacher gave Harry an intense and disrespectful look.
