Okay: This disgruntled house-elf thing doesn't have to
mean that the unpleasantness is aimed at Harry. It
*could* be Dobby becoming more unpopular with the
other elves, but I'm with the idea that it's Winky.
JKR spent alot of time on Winky in GoF-more time than
she spent with Dobby in his introductory book CoS.
Winky is a strong-minded elf, she seems to take things
more to heart than Dobby does. For Dobby, talking ill
of his masters is against the law-for Winky, it's a
moral obligation. I guess in this way they mirror the
personalities of who owned them.

Now to the DADA teacher. As Snape is one of my
favourite characters and is linked with the DADA job,
I felt real excitment when I learned it was to be a
female teacher!(Surley the term 'poison honey'
couldn't describe a male?)

1. Can Dumbledore really be fooled again? He would
certainly select the teacher carefully, given the
incident the previous year. He would also want a very
well qualified teacher, now that the students need a
good grounding in fighting darks arts more than ever!

I reply:
I don't think Dumbledore has ever really been fooled.
He's a trusting man, and a wise man, but he can't see
all-that we know of!;) Quirrel was on the staff before
he was 'joined' by Voldemort, so Dumbledore had no
reason not to trust him. Although i do think he knew
he was up to something, because Snape knew-and what he
knows,DD knows.
Lockhart sticks in my mind constantly as a bit of a
standout boy. Surley DD wouldn't have hired him purely
on his tales in his books. He is well known in the WW
for his exploits and as we see at the Burrow he even
has books on how to run a household (Gilderoy
Lockhart's guide to household pests). Since every
single person who would know his secret is
obliviate-ed, there would be no Lockhart-is-a-fraud
stories. And let's not forget-not many people seem to
want to take the DADA job!
I wonder if perhaps we'll see more of Lockhart (I
think he's Pig myself), and further to that I wonder
if he used a memory charm on anyone at Hogwarts while
he was employed. 

Then there's Moody-fake or not. DD knows Moody is a
great Auror-lots of people are in Azkzban because of
him. Both Dumbledore and Arthur Weasley have respect
for him-and that's enough for me to know he's O.K! I
don't think DD was wrong to hire him, but I'm not yet
certain how Crouch Jr. managed to keep himself unseen
for so long.
The new teacher could be character we haven't met yet.
She is probably young, since the term 'poison honey'
seems to conjour up(pardon the pun), a beautiful
sweet-natured (or at least pleasant-natured) woman who
has malice behind her. This would kind of spoil it to
tell us the DADA teacher is evil straight away.......
I can't find the summary everyone's talking about, but
I'm excited just seeing the talk here!!!

And here is,unfortunatly, where I leave you. I'm
moving house and this computer is my (now ex-)
housemates. I can't afford the net or an overflowing
mailbox, so I have to unsubscribe.:( 
I'll look into the message board as often as I gain
access to the net, but for now, this is the Little
Brown Sparrow wishing everyone good heart and a
wonderfull read. I have had my mind and heart opened
up by you all-I only wish I had found you sooner.
Blessed be my little Pot(ter)-heads!
Much love,
SPARROW
