Actually, a while back I posted a hugely long and extensive post 
about this very topic.

I tried to cover every possible explanation I could think of. 
Hopefully you might come up with some more. :-D

Actually, canon from OOP actually supports a more sinister meeting 
between Winky and Dobby because of the way we see Kreacher being 
treated. That is, he *never* leaves his master's house. *Never*, not 
even to do the shopping. So, it makes me believe even more strongly 
that the only way Dobby and Winky could meet each other is with the 
knowing consent of both their masters.
