> Dumbledore's Army will turn out to be a loyal group of Hogwart's house
elves. I suspect they may receive some sort of "uniform" (ie:clothes!) in
recognition of their new status as (free) members of the school staff (ie:
they are "asked" to stay/work/be paid vs. "enslavement"). Elves are
powerfully magical, with a natural (wandless!) ability that even wizards are
fearful of (see Malfoy, Sr.). Therefore, under the Direction of Dumbledore,
they would be a formidable (and doubtless a defensive) weapon in the Order's
arsenal.

Iggy:

I think it'll actually be Hermione who organizes the House Elves into an
army... with Dumbledore's consent.  It also probably won't happen (however)
until there's an actual battle on the school grounds... then Hermione will
rally all the elves to the defense of the school and they will be freed (but
retained as employees) in return for their services.
