I believe that the house elves, with Dobby and Kritcher (sp?) will
play a part, as will Grawp.



Deeby now:
I don't think there can be any doubt of that. IMO JKR has spent far 
too much time on these to simply drop them at the end. They also 
seem to be a part of the unity and equality theme and, as such, 
their widespread ill treatment seems to reflect the intolerance of 
pure bloods for half and mudbloods.

Also, whilst I would agree that the whole SPEW/Grawp subplots were 
convoluted (and at times incredibly intrusive) Dobby, Kreacher et al 
seem to drive the narrative forward significantly.

Therefore I feel sure that they will play /some/ role in the 
overthrow of LV, especially if the battle takes place at Hogwarts. I 
also just like to imagine how delighted Hermione will be when this 
leads to a new, more egalitarian statue at the MoM to replace the 
one blasted to pieces in OotP – Victory for SPEW at last!

Deeby – who on refection thinks that the symbolism of that statue 
being blasted to bits as the second war begins would repay further 
thought and is hurrying off to reread it.
