Me either. Nice post Zara :)

Alla:

Yeah, and I am also wondering how Dobby's death necessarily symbolise 
that freedom of the house elves is a non-issue now?

I thought it is symbolising that fight for something new and 
progressive is always hard and often the best and the brightest, the 
ones who were in the first rows of fight will fall in the fight.

Decembrists who wanted the happier life for ordinary people were 
executed and exiled in 1825 and nobody is saying that the fight just 
stopped and became non-issue with their deaths and they WERE one of 
the best and brightest and NO they did not get the support of the 
masses, for whom they started all that fight.

They were pretty much alone in their fight, just as Dobby was in his 
desire for freedom.

I mean, I never cared much for him, but I definitely cried when he 
died.

Alla.
