I took that into consideration before I posted.  Hasn't the allure of 
the books been these minor hints or suggestions that have been 
dropped, later to mean something of possible importance.  JKR has 
deliberatly for five books kept us in the dark concerning Harrys 
lineage.  I as well as others believe there is something big she is 
going to reveal later in the series concerning Harrys family.  Some 
would like to believe that Harry is related to the Weasleys, 
Dumbledore and even the Grangers...but to the Malfoys NO WAY... I 
would personally like to believe that Harry is realted to DD in some 
way...

But the way that I read those references I believe that JKR is giving 
more detail about the House elves loyalites....There is even a 
reference to Kreacher having to listen to whatever anyone in the 
family says (US, pg 113). As Serius is making reference to Tonks as a 
family member.

Why would she go into such detail about elves at this time.  Kreacher 
is important in this book because he has been able to relate 
important information indirectly to the dark lord.... Dobby even 
though a free spirit I grant you, was still a dedicated house elve 
bound by the enchantments of his kind...why not go to DD..to the 
Weasleys, etc...

I believe he went to Harry because the Malfoys are an old pure blood 
family -- believing that house elves are slaves are nothing -- Dobby 
beleives in freedom and is against the Dark Lord  -- He is bound by 
family blood ties -- and when he overhears information about the COS 
he can only go to the one person in the family that is not a Dark 
Lord supporter --- Harry.

If you read Kreachers story and follow his actions through the book 
and listen to dialoge by DD and Serius I believe there is a clear 
possibility that Dobby in COS was acting the same way...The next big 
revelation is that Harry is going to be related to the Malfoy family.
