Remember what DD said when HP asked him what he would want to see in 
the Mirror of Erised? DD would like to see himself holding a pair of 
thick, woollen socks. Socks?Dobby?Clothes?
Dobby was Malfoy's house elf in COS, yet he was able to withhold Ron 
and Hermione's post from Harry, he was able to close the platform 9 
3/4 for Harry and Ron (which saved them later by the way, the Ford 
Anglia being in the FF). He also knew that the Diary was dangerous 
for Harry and tried to warn him. Is this good or bad, what would 
have happened if Harry had not been at HW with the COS being 
opened...
