The acquisition of wealth

My apologies if this is a theme discussed to
exhaustion before.  I have not yet had the opportunity
to search through the messages from before I joined.

One thing that has been puzzling me for some time is
where the wealth of the Malfoys originates.  I found
an interesting creature in Norwegian folklore,
however, that might be in the spirit of the Malfoys. 
The name of the creature in Norwegian is Dragedokke,
which directly translated means "pulling doll".  It is
a tiny creature, in many ways similar to the Norwegian
nisse, among other things in that they both draw
wealth to the owner.  It is female, however, and where
the nisse draws natural wealth (grain, hay for the
livestock, etc.), the dragedokke draws money and
silver, in such quantities that no matter how much you
spend, you never run out.  They prefer living in
chests, drawer and coffers.  Once one has moved it, it
is impossible to get it out, except by excorsism or
sorcery.  They were normally found living in the homes
of witches and sorcerers.
