Much as I find the house elves utterly annoying I have to agree. My feeling 
is that Winky is never going to be happy at Hogwarts. Though it seems 
unlikely that she will ever find another family adopt her in her disgraced 
condition there is one red headed family that would fit the bill perfectly. 
The Weasleys.

They would (in the nicest possible way) be happy not to pay her and George 
does say "Mum's always wishing we had a house-elf to do the ironing" CoS p27. 
Personally I can't think of a nicer place for Winky to end up than doing the 
Weasley's ironing (once she gets over her Butterbeer problem of course!)
