(Anonymous) 2013-03-14 04:01 am (UTC)(link)You mean in reality? None that I know of.
In fiction, though, I keep coming across servants who take pride in ... (1) serving Good Families from the upper classes, and being very loyal to them; (2) never making any demands for themselves; (3) "belonging" to a house (such as in Wilde's "The Canterville Ghost", for example) or coming from a family that has served another family for generations, basically being born into the job (well, they could refuse, but that would mean outright rebellion) - I seem to recall this showing up in Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day, but it's a long time since I read it. The House Elves seem like an extreme version of these things.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-14 08:11 am (UTC)(link)Anyways, there was a point when [again, from what I've been able to gather] the servants were sort of like the house elves. They weren't slaves by any means, but there was a definite difference that struck me as being very similar to how the house elves [aside from Dobby] were portrayed in the books.
