But... have you ever thought, why does the fairy-house such as Dobby
Apparate or Disapparate in Hogwarts? What do you think about this?

Just because house elves are able to magically transport themselves
from one location to another does not mean that they are able to
apparate.  There are at least two methods available to wizards that
allow for nearly instantaneous transport between two arbitrary
locations, apparation and portkeys.  House elves using a portkey-like
method (a method using the same magical principles as a portkey
without the elf having to touch an actual portkey) to transport
themselves would allow for magical transport within Hogwarts or other
locations protected from apparation.
