I beg to differ here.  As we know, both sides are working on recruiting
people to work for them in the upcoming war.  Dobby used to work for the
Malfoys.  I feel he may end up being a very important person for DD's side
in the upcoming war because of that information.  I have seen people fear
for the Weasley's because Peter lived in their house for over a decade as
their pet rat.  That information can now be used by Voldemort's side.  We
now have a balance to that in Dobby supplying information to DD's side on
the Malfoys.

It's interesting that JKR seems to balance things out.  Dobby is a counter
to Peter in the way I have stated above.  Snape defects to DD's side and
spys on V's group; Peter defects to V's side and spies on DD's group.  My
concern is that we do not seem to have a counter to Rita Skeeter, who I feel
will be one to fear in upcoming books.  Maybe Colin's photography could be a
counter to her "journalism?"
