I read somewhere in the book or by Jk that elfs have more power than wizards.

So that brings me to the question of
"why haven't the elfs taken over?"
Remember when Dobby threw Lucius back when lucius tried to curse harry in the second book?
anyone agree?!

I don't think the elves have taken over because they just seem way too peaceful and nice for that. The image that the elves have given is that they're eager to serve and make people happy. When Harry, Ron and Hermione first entered the kitchens, all the house-elves scurried away to get food and provide the trio with what they wanted.

When Dobby told Harry about how he wanted to be paid, the elves all turned away...maybe it's because they like working and the elves who want to rebel against what they're taught or the wizards they serve are considered strange. When Dobby said that the Malfoys were bad wizards, Winky was quick to admonish this and said he was bad.

I think it simply isn't in their blood to be evil and nasty or use their magic for anything other than protecting people or serving them.
