CRobo says,

I'm rereading them again too and I had some similar questions about 
Dobby's motives.  Here's some speculation (probably not new but an 
appropriate time to mention it)

What if Narcissa sent Dobby?  We know that she didn't want to send 
her son to Durmstrang where he would have learned Dark Arts, but 
instead talked Lucious into letting Draco go to Hogwarts.  She could 
tell Dobby to leave the house and keep a secret from Lucious - and 
even then Dobby'd have to punish himself?  

If it's worthy of expansion I'll let someone who is more eloquent 
pick up the thought and run.  Otherwise, I'll go back to lurking.

Cheers!
CRobo.
