[HPforGrownups] Wither Winky? (was Re: House Elves, namely Winky)

Aaargh, no! Dobby can't die, otherwise who's going to marry Winky and open 
up that successful wizard eaterie chain, "The Golden Sock"?  Interesting 
ideas though.  Winky is pretty powerful when she chooses - I wonder what it 
meant that she was able to "bind" Crouch to her.  I wouldn't like to be the 
one who tried to whack her.  What happens to a loyal house-elf when all of 
the family are dead? Could she (dramatic chords) go over to the Dark Side??
