Meann:
According to the Bloomsbury Web chat (http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2007/0730-bloomsbury-chat.html), 
she actually was one of those attacking house-elves:
*Jamie Lewis*: What ever happened to winky
*J.K. Rowling*: She's still at Hogwarts, and she was one of the 
oncoming house-elves who attacked the Death Eaters in the final 
battle.
