Our guys would offer to take him in because they are Good Guys and feel
sorry for an underage orphan, even Draco.

There are fanfics with that plot. Ask on HPff for recommendations of
good ones. HPff is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_FanFiction/messages

I like to fantasize that Petunia was Narcissa's older sister but her
parents threw her away for being a Squib, perhaps giving her to the
Evanses because they were Muggles who already had some contact with the
wizard world. Then Petunia's hatred of magic could be connected to her
vague understanding that magic is why her first parents threw her away
(if she was three years old at the time, she would remember it but
vaguely).

IMHO Dobby is not a weirdo, it's just that the Malfoys are so bad that
working for them makes any House Elf crave freedom. Someone else
suggested that Dobby was not originally a Malfoy servant, but a Potter
servant, and after the Potter house was destroyed, he was placed with
the Malfoys, but never felt the customary loyal to them, even before
being abused by them. Placed by the Bureau of House Elf Relocation,
which was mentioned in Newt Scamander's preface to FB.
