Iggy here:

*grin*  Iggy is a hired Elf, not one in normal service.  Iggy's old family
did not feel that his behavior was suitibly... sedate and servile... enough
for them.  He served well, but they said he was a little strange in the head
for them.  (They said he would have been better off as the Elf for a
travelling circus troup than a Pureblood family of their noble stature.  So
they gave him his first vest.)

Iggy knows the other Elves see him as odd for not minding so much that he
was given clothes, but he must truthfully admit that he is happier being his
own Elf because he is allowed to have a sense of humor and allowed to have
fun.  Much like Dobby, who's example he followed, Iggy decided to humbly
seek employment and came here, where they happily hired him.  Humble Iggy
gets one Galleon a month, one day off a week to have fun (which he was
ordered to do, although he felt that one day a month would be more than
enough), and enough fabric and yarn each month of his chosing to make three
vests, and six socks.

Other Elves see Iggy as being even stranger than Dobby, but Iggy is not
minding this, since maybe Iggy IS a little touched in the head as some say,
but he doesn't care since Iggy knows no other way of being.  Besides, Iggy
likes his vests and socks.  (He has even made a couple for the teacher who
asked for him to be hired, the Great Professor Flitwick.  Iggy thinks it's
because he knows how to make cherry sodas just the way the Great Flitwick
likes them.)
