I happen to completely disagree, respectfully.  Yes, of course, JKR 
is very clever, which is exactly why Dobby won't die in book five.  
He's way too obvious, in my opinion, as is Colin Creevey.  I don't 
believe either of these characters is so pivotal as to have been 
difficult to write their deaths.  I also don't believe Dobby has 
endeared himself enough to the reader to be difficult to kill off.  
He's more annoying than anything, so people wouldn't be all that 
upset if he dies, (I dont think).  The only reason I can think of 
that Dobby might die is that his importance in canon seems to be 
lessening.  I would be more difficult to kill someone like Hagrid, 
because he is pivotal, he's the type of character who is very 
endearing to the reader, too.  Think about it; Hagrid is the type of 
man who would sacrifice himself for the better of the community.  I 
suspect this is exactly what he does.

Just a thought.
