But they may well provide the packed lunch at half-time in the final 
battle."

Now Kathryn:

The house elves may not be Dumbledore's Army, but I'm betting they 
are going to be crucial in the battle.  Such significance has been 
placed on the fact that you cannot apparate into/out of Hogwarts, not 
just by Hermione, but I believe Snape as well. (don't have the books 
handy)  Yet, Dobby apparates in CoS in the hospital ward.  We've seen 
powerful elf magic, and even Malfoy Sr. backs off.  Also, I remember 
a thread months ago which was discussing which scene in the movie JKR 
insisted stay in.  IMHO I think it was Dobby apparating.

Of course you've got the whole SPEW theme and the house elf in the 
fountain as well.  Forget the goblins, the house elves are going to 
be key!
