sad1199 here:

 Yes! Ideas and thoughts! I have already said in post #107071 that I 
think somewhere in Lily's heritage there is elvin blood. She who is 
a mere witch stopped Voldemort from killing Harry by sacrificing 
herself? I just don't buy it. Now, if she had some sort of stronger 
powers that were not widely known-such as elvin powers, I could see 
her stopping the strongest wizard ever (next to Dumbldore, of 
course). Maybe because she did not have full elvin capabilities she 
could not stop Voldemort from killing her but she was able to 
deflect or counter Voldemort's curse on Harry back to himself.
  I also think Dobby will have more to do in the last two books. He 
seems to be a small character that has been growing into a larger 
character throughout the books we have so far. Especially, if it 
comes out that Lily/Harry are related to him in some way. As was 
said before it is VERY unusual for a house elf to go directly 
against his wizard family and Dobby obviously chose to help Harry 
and go against years(?) of tradition.
