| Aug 6, 2014 at 7:43 | comment | added | BP_Phoenix | what about Winky's comment from Goblet where she says "...You goes racketing around like this, Dobby, I says, and next thing I hear you's up in front of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, like some common goblin." - I think this implies that House-Elves feel they are above goblins, and possibly goblins have similar trust issues with them as humans and would protect against House-Elf magic? | |

Indeed goblins do not trust humans, after all their experiences in the wars; so they naturally put a lot of focus on defence against wizard's magic. But I don't think elves ever participated in those wars – if they had then quite certainly on the wizards' side. But generally, elves seem to be found exclusively in wizards' households, very much unlike goblins; so quite possibly they'd know even less about elf magic than humans do. | |
