LOL!  And don't forget phoenixes.  So maybe Hogwarts will be 
attacked by house-elves bearing phoenixes (is that like Greeks 
bearing gifts?) riding in Knight Buses. :)  Except for the fact that 
phoenixes are peaceful and seem to be generally good creatures, so I 
guess DEs and evil house-elves wouldn't get along with them too well.

All this makes me wonder, though, why Quirrell didn't have Malfoy 
just send *Dobby* after the Stone in book 1.  What a job JKR has!  
It's virtually impossible to keep track of all the loose threads...
