Good point--I wonder too. As I have mentioned earlier, I also think 
that we (the readers and the wizarding world) are underestimating the 
powers/usefulness of Dobby and the house-elves. Being privy to the 
goings-on of so many wizard domeciles, they probably do have key 
information and insights into the prophecy. I think those lowly house 
elves, with their inside knowledge and untapped, unseen powers will 
probably play a vital role in the looming war and Voldemort's 
ultimate demise.

OrigamiWizard, who knows that JKR will probably blow her theory out 
of the water within the 1st paragraph of Book 6--brilliant woman that 
she is.
