Hmm...condone may not have been the right word.  Basically, what I 
was trying to say was that by not doing anything, they're not doing 
anything to stop Voldermort.  (I feel like I'm talking myself in 
circles here<G>).

I have a theory about House Elves.  They've been in their servitude 
position for quite a while now and it's been said and shown several 
times that house elves have a powerful magic of their own.  I think 
the house elves were "punished" into their current position because 
of how strong they were.  Look at what they can do without a wand.  
They could have done something or it could have just been fear, but 
whatever it was - I don't think house elves have always been as they 
are now.  I think they could become a formidable ally in the fight 
against Voldermort.  And Dumbledore has already shown (unlike some 
other people) he's not above asking non-humans for help (the giants).

Goblins on the other hand...for some reason I see them aligning 
themselves with Voldermort.  I don't know why.  And you know everyone 
would just be screwed if that happened - everyone uses Gringotts.

I think the Dementors will definitely end up on Voldermort's 
side...which means that everyone in Azkaban gets a "Get out of Jail 
Free" card - and a whole lot of insane Death Eaters running around.
