What's to become of Winky??

I'll just toss this out there for your thoughts, so, here's my idea.

Winky was devoted to the Crouch family.  Do you think Dumbledore 
could persuade her to become the Weasleys' house elf (Ron said his 
mum always wanted/needed one).  That way, they (Weasleys) would have 
a bit of extra protection.  House elves having a different set of 
rules & magic, and knowing their protective nature, don't you think 
she'd make a great asset to the Weasley household?  AND since that 
pompous ass Percy will now have to swallow a LOT of crow and apologize 
to his whole family for being SUCH an IDIOT, that would be another 
bond that would link Winky to the Weasleys (Percy's loyalty to old 
man Crouch) which she surely knew about, as he came to the house and 
did Old man Crouch's bidding without question.

And Dobby would re-enforce that bond, since he's designated himself 
as Harry's protector (remember, just because Harry asked Dobby to 
promise never to try and save his life again at the end of CoS, Dobby 
never gave him a answer - yes or no) and Ron's Harry's best friend, so 
Winky would know the Weasley's are good wizards.

Anybody else ever think of this as a possible twist in the coming 
books? And Molly would get Winky off the butterbeer before quick, HA! HA!
