Ok we know that Dobby was the Malfoy's house elf though for exactly 
how long we don't know but I get the feeling that he was there during 
Voldemorts reign of terror, the time whn Draco was growing up and of 
course we know he was there for Draco's first two years at Hogwarts 
(COS). Now we here from Dobby in GOF that house elfs keep their 
masters secrets and Dobby certainly new about Tom Riddle (COS), and I 
think it is fair to assume that Lucius Malfoy was in Voldemorts inner-
circle, so also I think that Dobby probably knows more about the 
death of Harrys parents/ Harrys parents involvement with fighting 
Voldemort/ in fact Harry's past in genneral than Harry does we also 
know that that Dobby doesn't have to keep the Malfoys secrets anymore 
now that he's not their elf, although he's clearly not used to it 
(gof - forget what chapter but it's when he meets Harry in the 
Kitchens) 
Know I started wondering why JKR brought Dobby back in GOF, the only 
really main thing he did (role he had) was with giving Harry the 
Gillyweed. There's got to be a reason as to why he's back...

Now Dumbledore held back on telling Harry certain things (the end of 
PS). However I can't see Dobby doing this -in fact I've got this 
awful feeling that Dobby's going to 'spill the beans' so to speak 
(and knowing him what and how he says it is not going to be well 
thought out in the least) So I've got a feeling that Harry's going to 
hear from Dobby instead of a more appropriate source (eg 
Sirius/Dumbledore). There's two problems with this :-
Firstly Dobbys version of events will be based on the DE's versions 
of events.
Secondly we know how Harry reacted when he overheard that Sirius had 
supposedly betrayed his parents (POA) and the anger he had that 
nobody (not even Hagrid) had told him about this. 
So how will Harry handle any information that he may get from Dobby 
and  is he ready to deal with any information he may be given?
