Mimbeltonia has a sudden -maybe a bit too rash- idea:

Could the Malfoy Estate be the original "Potter Estate", somehow 
tricked or forced from James' parents by the Death Eater Malfoy 
during the first WW?? The house elf went with the house for some 
complex reason (maybe also the reason why Dobby can't tell Harry), 
but James was able to save an important part of the fortune...

What do you think???
