Just one problem with the above sentence. In book 5, wasn't Hermione making
hats and leaving them lying around, hidden? If house elves are allowed to
touch clothes that are not directly handed to them, then why would Dobby tell
Harry that the other elves won't clean Gryffindor common room, due to all
the hidden hats and stuff?
