Winky and Dobby

[Chelle]

No: HPFGUIDX 92403

I was just relistening to my GoF book on CD tonight when a line jumped
out at me.
When Harry meets up with Dobby in the kitchens for the first time and
talks to him about he and Winkys employment, Dobby says he found about
Winkys dismissal when he went to visit her.
Does this seem strange to anyone else? Dobby belonged to Lucius
Malfoy. Why would Crouch's elves have anything to do with the Malfoy
elves? Is there more to this?
