JKR said the following in the World Book Day chat:
Rorujin: How is Dobby abele to apparate inside Hogwarts if no one 
else can?
JK Rowling replies -> He's a house-elf, they've got powers wizards 
haven't got (but wizards have also got powers that house-elves 
haven't). 

I imagine it's different rules for non-humans, though that leaves me 
wondering about Nagini and animagi.  Are animagi still completely 
human?

Adan, apologizing if I missed where this had been answered already
