Thanks, Amy!  Yes, that's a perfect example of how Crouch treated his 
faithful Winky.  I also thought it was pretty awful to fire her 
(knowing how humiliating it is for a house elf to 'get sacked') in 
front of a group of witches and wizards.  What a bad boss!  He didn't 
even care when Amos Diggory called her "Elf!" the way he did.  I get 
angry when my students tell when they've been treated badly at their 
jobs or at home...  shame on Crouch!
