No need to ask Dursleys! It's not like Dobby asked when he came first 
time...Maybe Dobby wanted to go see Harry Potter - not so much work 
to do at Hogwarts, anyway, so he takes a vacation...

Dobby vs. Dursleys... Well - Dobby hide? I think not. He'd tell 
Vernon, Petunia and Dudley Dursley not speak so nastily of the great 
wizard, Harry Potter.

Dobby could hide in Harry's trunk, under invisibility cloak, or maybe 
he can make himself invisible? Creaky stair... IS there something 
under it? A key to Harry's maternal heritage is my view - well, 
basically the Gringotts vault, invisibility cloak and the map are 
Harry's paternal heritage. About time he learns of his mother, and 
what *she* left for him.
