As to what analogy JKR had in mind with the House Elves, I think we are 
all overlooking the obvious...what group in our Muggle world does most 
of the housework? Who doesn't get paid for doing it? And doesn't get 
pensions or paid holidays? And is supposed to consider it all a labor 
of love? And to think this group is largely female. Be ashamed. Be very 
ashamed. ;)
