dive into the lake in GoF?  But then it occurred to me, wait a minute, 
of course Lucius would want Harry to survive this task to meet old 
Voldy in the cemetery.

family. Or was he? Are you saying that Dobby was sent to Hogwarts to 
keep an eye on Harry and Dumbledore? <snip>


eternal_riddle:
At the end of CS, Lucius threw Harry's sock which Dobby caught. 
Therefore, he was FREE. He has a job at Hogwarts he is being PAID 
for. He isn't any longer a servant of the Malfoys. Hence he can't be 
working for them (unless you suppose he likes them and is a spy, 
what IMO is nonsense).

Hope that does it.
