Dobby also chose to go into battle.  Actually he has been choosing to battle
for Harry since he was first introduced.  He defied his nature as a house
elf to protect Harry in book two.  He risked being caught stealing to get
gillyweed.  Every time he appears, Dobby has shown his willingness to do
whatever is necessary to defeat evil. Dobby is a free elf who deliberately
entered the Malfoy's house twice during what he knew was a dangerous time.
He is a warrior by choice as much as any major character in the series, and
his was a heroic death.
