This is just my honest oppinion, but- I think a master would be 
considered anyone whom the elves are *in service to*, which is 
everyone at Hogwarts. Yes, Dumbledore hired Dobby as well as Winky, 
but he didn't hire the rest of the elves. I'm guessing the current 
house elves were born in service to Hogwarts, just like the 
generations before them. Think of the Crouch family, isn't it one 
house elf family, serving one magical family? Or am I just making 
things up for the sake of my poor memory...

I hope you get my general idea.
