Interesting... Another thing to watch is parallelism. JKR does throw 
in parallels to draw on, either to add subtext, or occassionally, to
mislead. I don't think James flipping Snape over would have been 
nearly the same without the DE's scene in GoF with muggle-baiting.

Also, one thing that cemented the Winky/Crouch relationship as 
being more then a normal master/house-elf relationship in my eyes 
was comparing the scene where Winky gets clothes to Barty Jr's 
trial:

"M-m-master..." Winky stammered, looking up at Mr. Crouch, her eyes 
brimming with tears. "M-m-master, p-p-please..."
--GoF, US hardcover, pg 158

"Father," said the boy with the straw-colored hair. "Father,
please..."
--GoF, US hardcover, pg 594

If I hadn't been looking up information specifically on Winky & 
Barty Crouch, that would have slipped totally past me...
