Dumbledore may have put the "ancient spell" against only Voldemort 
and his Death Eaters and any enemy.  That way Dobby, a lowly house 
elf and therefore not an enemy of Harry, could not have been 
affected.  Dumbledore had access to Voldemort and DE paraphernalia via 
the loveable Snape to put the spell.
