Elf Magic / Apparating

Thanks Amanda.  
Instinctive magic? Interesting theory: Elf powers are 
innate and 'poofing' is not restricted as apparating is. 
The spell that prevents apparating could treat 'poofing' 
as any spell or natural trait and not as apparating. 

I still wonder if wizard magic could stop it.

can be trained, but I think elves do it instinctively. 
It's a different type of magic, that does not trigger the 
safeguards.

A hippogriff can fly. House-elves can poof (or some other 
word besides Apparate, to avoid confusing the issue).

Opinions or theories?
