> I don't think that Winky's mother and grandmother are still alive... A house-elf serves their whole life, so her mom and grandy are gone. She just uses the word *is* incorrectly. What she really means is *what would they say if they knew*... sort of like the expression we use *they would turn over in their grave if they knew*. >


How long do you think house elves live? just a random question. Kreacher is old but how old? and how much longer is he going to go on living? Dobby has been with the Malfoys for a while. is winky still quite young?
