I am sympathetic to Dobby as well but I wouldn't want him or anybody
like him saving my life too. Can you imagine him saving a simple
muggle, the muggle will end up dead or in prison instead of being
saved, lucky for Harry he's a wizard, so he didn't end up dead or
harmed.  No, that phrase wasn't a movie contamination, Harry really
told Dobby that it was in COS,chapter 18 Dobby's Reward, page 339,
paperback Scholastic. Cheers.
