Ryan:

I actually wonder if Snape will go back to Voldemort at all.  Seems
to me that, having failed to kill Dumbledore, Draco's life would be
forfeit if they went to Voldemort.  Since part of Snape's Unbreakable
Vow it Narcissa was to keep Draco safe.  My bet is that Snape and
Draco go into hiding.

"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."
