Equally, how did Dobby find Harry? Even without the ancient magical protection,
how on earth did he know where Harry was? We know Ron and the other Weasley's
know (they write to him by Muggle post, they drive magical cars there),
but by what route could Dobby possibly have found out Harry's address?

Hope I've done everything right. It's my first post and I'm sitting somewhere
