During Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, Dobby makes many (often vain) attempts to “help” him, like trying to get him injured during a Quidditch match so he would be sent back home. When Dobby hears of a plot to reopen the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts, he makes it his mission to warn and protect Harry Potter, whom he deeply admires for vanquishing the evil Voldemort as a baby, because it made the wizarding world a better place for oppressed races like house elves. Living… as a free elf, thanks to Harry Potter. Because house elves are magically bound to the family into which they’re born, Dobby can only be freed if his master presents him with proper clothes. Dobby wears his uniform of a ratty old tea towel while performing any and all household chores that the Malfoys ask of him. He’s spent his whole life serving the cruel family of Death Eaters, who treat him like vermin and often abuse him.
