[HPforGrownups] apparation at Hogwarts

I think the 'CLAP' dissapearance made by Dobby was actually NOT an 
apparition because 1)Hermione is rarely wrong
   2)The rule  of no apparitions makes sense
   3)House elves probably have thier own brand of magic allowing them to go 
from one place to another to do chores
   4) Since house elves are so closely bound to do right it would be 
perfectly safe to allow them this
   5) Since Hogwarts; A History doesn't even mention house elves at all 
there is reason to believe that there no apparition rule/impossibility 
doesn'y apply to them
6) Their magic is so powerful that they can easily do what they want HOWEVER 
not many of them are free so this does not matter to them.

So either all houseelves can "apparate" in their own brand of magic in order 
to get to their chores quicker or they can only do this if they are free 
like Dobby. Andrea(newmember)
