 hpfan_mom:

In the FAQ section of her website, JK Rowling is asked:

You say that people cannot Apparate or Disapparate within 
Hogwarts and yet Dobby manages it, why is this?

She answers:

House-elves are different from wizards; they have their own 
brand of magic, and the ability to appear and disappear within 
the castle is necessary to them if they are to go about their 
work unseen, as house-elves traditionally do.
