Forgive me if this subject has been covered already (I haven't seen
any reference to it), but I was re-reading Chamber of Secrets
yesterday, and I noticed at the end, after Harry set Dobby free from
the Malfoys, that Dobby *vanished* with a crack like a whip. Sorry I
don't have my book with me, can't offer the exact quote.
Now, apparating and disapparating have been described several times,
always with the loud cracking noise....I think it's in the beginning
of OOP when Harry hears the loud crack and thinks that it's exactly
the sound of someone apparating or disapparating....also when Fred
and George apparate in Ron & Harry's room at Grimmauld Place....I can
think of several others....
Does this mean that Dobby disapparated from Hogwarts? According to
Hermione (Hogwarts, A History), and Umbridge, "You can't inside this
school!" Or is there canon that Dobby can appear/disappear through
the use of other forms of magic? If so, then maybe Hogwarts isn't as
safe and/or protected as people like to think it is.
Food for thought,
