Dobby's protection of Harry seems uncharacterisitc of a house elf and 
it will be interesting to see how he fits into the future books! The 
Hogwarts House Elf Army perhaps?

Now Ariana (me) says:
I think this will be *very* important.  I get upset when I see people 
complain about the whole house elf aspect of the HP books, I think 
some people think it's just comic relief or something like that.  
Notice how Dobby is strong enough to stop Lucius Malfoy in his tracks 
at the end of CoS when he tries to hurt Harry.  

When watching LOTR: The Two Towers on DVD a couple weeks ago I 
pointed out to my husband that it was only with cooperation between 
groups and species that they are able to come out of the end of that 
movie alive.  I think it'll be the same in the HP books, It is 
similar to the Sorting Hat saying that the houses need to unify.
