It's always the ones that seem so insignificant...
I have always said that the most dangerous persons to Harry aren't
Malfoy and his cronies, it's Colin and Dennis. Harry constantly
brushes them off, "nearly flattens the little Creavey brothers" on
several occasions, and generally treats them as if they don't exist.
There's a frightening potential there for something to crack.
And the most potential for good? The house elves. When Dumbledore
figures out how to harness their powers and turn them on Voldemort,
it will be...well, it will be kind of like the Ewoks in Return of the
Jedi.
Sort of.
Okay, now I'm mixing up my modern day mythologies...
