Geoff:
Interesting thought just crossed my mind when I read this. OK, so (1) 
there was wandless magic involved and (2) Harry was the fall guy.

However, hasn't it been suggested that house elves have magic of 
their own (possessing the ability to apparate where no man has 
apparated before for instance). Shouldn't therefore the Ministry be 
able to distinguish magic originating from an elf?
