I agree with this secret so much. It's like . . . the house-elves don't know any other way of life, so they think their way of life is okay - but that doesn't mean that it is. I mean, think back to the first book; Harry didn't necessarily like living in the cupboard under the stairs, but he was used to it and didn't exactly fight to get the bedroom. When he did get it, he liked it, but before that? It wasn't like he'd said, "Hey, Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia - gimme the bedroom kthx." I think it's the same with a lot of the house-elves. They might not go out of their way to try and be freed, but I think that if they were, they'd see how wonderful freedom really is.

Just because someone is used to a particular way of being treated doesn't mean it's right.

I'm not certain if it was JKR's intention, but I've always felt the house-elves were based on the stories of brownies. Brownies do many of the same things in the old stories, and they felt payment for their services was an insult. I always kinda wondered if the wizards took advantage of this characteristic (the Malfoys certainly did) and that's how the house-elf system came to be.

Shai_neko, you took the words right out of my mouth. ^^ I'm glad someone else thought about it this way.
