What is the purpose of the WW?

At first, this seems like a stupid question, why does the WW exist?  The simple answer is that it exists to shelter wizards from persecution and teach them how to use their magic.  However, there are hints of a darker reality behind the facade.  

Dumbledore uses an old magic, the exact nature of which is not disclosed, to keep Harry safe.  I must question his skill with it, as Dobby, Fred and George and Mr. Weasliy are all able to enter at one time or another.  Where does that spell come from and why is it based on blood ties?

This is my private theory, which probably come from reading to many fantasy novels while waiting for OOP.  Some time back the Human race was visited by a group of extremely powerful beings, we might call them gods, who tormented the human race.  The Old stories of the fairies were not Tinkerbells, but powerful and ruthless creatures who would steal children and leave behind a changeling or worse for the parents to look after.  The humans' may have been left by those creatures after some time and realising that they could be summoned my magic, tried to destroy it or to control it.

I know this seems like a stretch, but why must the MOM and DD place such empresses on teaching magic to children?  Could it be that the developed magic used by the WW is safe and won't summon the creatures?  

Now, the house elves appear to be more powerful than wizards, so why have they been enslaved and treated terribly?  What is their real origin?  Could they have come from Farire?

Also, the MOM attempts to keep creatures that use magic hidden from the muggles.  Dragons can't fly in the real world, so they must use magic to keep themselves going.  Could it be extremely important to keep muggles believing that magic is not real?

Now, perhaps the real danger offered by Voldemort and Co. is the possibility of a Magical Blitz which might summon one of the 'gods'?  Could that be why people are so scared to say his name, like the old folk were scared to speak ill of the fairies?

Does this make sense or have I finally lost it?
