JKR also created Dobby, the elf who acted alone, who wanted to be 
free, who held Harry to be a saviour, who wore wizard-provided 
clothes, and who died a hero's death. JKR also created Hermione, the 
Muggleborn who stubbornly tried to free the elves whether they wanted 
freedom or not.  Perhaps nobody would be having this discussion were 
it not for Dobby and the story his life seemed to be telling, along 
with Hermione's premature efforts on behalf of house-elves.  So tell 
me, why oh why did JKR even include this storyline at all?  It seemed 
to be an anti-slavery story at one time.  It ended up being anything 
but.
