I was just reading this post...and had a thought...

Harry, drying eyes on a sheet.....and then on a robe...

at best, this is a house elf clue..a huge house elf clue..

In the end who are you going to have do your laundry??!?

Washing someone elses dirty laundry is not a pleasant 
experience...but washing someone else's clothes teaches a great deal
about the persons' whoms dirty clothes you wash..

Then when one(esp. DD) has a pet...the more tears Dumbledore 
sheds..probably the more tears his "pet" can give(this makes sense 
given how many times Fawkes has saved harry)...a great thing for 
Harry..

How many tears do elves collect during cleaning robes and sheets?  Is 
this a source of their power?

Why else do Dobby(house elves) and the Phoenix show up and such 
opportune times?(those who have cried, sweated, bled..the most?!?!?)

When one gets into the whole "blood, sweat, tears" thing and how 
house elves are not free but love to serve...it provides 
understanding why such powerful magical creatures serves witches and 
wizards doesn't it?  Especially if they garner an empathic appeal of 
the feelings one experienced when excreteing such bodily fluids.

It would also explain why Dobby is the way he is(loyal to those he 
does laundry for--woohoo for Gryphindor!(no other elves will clean 
Gryphindor after Hermione leaves her craftwork for them...and also it 
also more explains why winky doesn't want to work at Hogwards and why 
she is so tied to her former family(she had a mixture of both 
sides...but even she..like dobby had a favorite)...  As opposed 
to 'K'reature who didn't do "laundry" for his family for more than a 
decade...I find it really wonderful that Dobby 
loves/respects/appreciates harry so much he will do this...

Who sheds more passionate tears?,has an excessive amount of 
nervous/strenuous sweats, etc...?


Poor Kreature..washing so many bitter tears in his household.(what 
wouldn't he have done to get so many tears from Sirius after all 
those "barren" years--hence his horrible insults to the children in 
the home....(really if at the snap of several elves they can move all 
that food into the great hall, Dobby can appear and reappear like 
Fawkes,(not nececarrily apparate...).

I should quit...to find out if I'm just spewing now...LOL

all flames welcome..  :)
