* At some point in the distant past, the last Overlord fell to a group of wizards. One of the spoils was the Brown Minion hive, as well as a few surviving Blues (the other hives were either destroyed or otherwise lost). The wizards and their descendants, through breeding and magical experimentation, developed the first house elves from this stock. The only major snag in this theory is the Blue's ability to ressurect the dead, something the HP canon states is impossible. |
