> I will touch briefly on my Elf Theory here. I think Hermione is
completely misguided in her efforts toward house-elves. It's true, 
a house-elfs greatest joy is to have masters to serve, and to serve 
them honorably. All they really want in return is the same sense of 
honor and commitment from their master. They don't want pay, they 
want honor, dignity, respect, and appreciation. To genuinely respect 
and appreciate a house-elve is the highest reward you could ever 
give them. > >

Joining the house elf fray:
I like the idea that Dobby will have a part in the fight.  But 
that might just be because I really like Dobby.  I think that 
Hermione's views on elves are right on, but she's going about it 
in a completely wrong way.  She accidentally offends the elves, 
instead of befriending them or complimenting them.  She doesn't 
realize that elves, like some people, enjoy their work and take pride 
in it.  But, they should be able to choose who to serve, and not be 
forced to serve someone they hate.  They're like serfs of the middle 
ages; tied to the land and aren't allowed their freedom to do other 
things.  Just my opinion.
