ME - but Ron says, about Dobby in CoS, 'House-elves come with big old 
manors and castles and places like that, you wouldn't catch one in 
our house...'
Although Fred says in the line before that '..whoever owns him will 
be an old wizarding family, and they'll be rich'
To me, it sounds like you maybe have to fulfill all three conditions.
Doesn't clear it up, as we don't know if Harry might inherit the 
house, or if the Potters are an old wizarding family.
