Dobby, the beloved house-elf from Harry Potter, is canonically a male (boy) house-elf who served the Malfoy family before being freed by Harry. He is often referred to with male pronouns (he/him) and is a distinct character within the series, though the name itself can sometimes be used for pets or as a gender-neutral name for people in real life.
Dobby is a gender-neutral of British origin. Made popular by the beloved Harry Potter series, this name will go down in history. The definition of "benevolent elf" echoes the kind and determined character who always looked out for Harry until the end.
Winky (fl. 1981–2011) was a freed female house-elf who neither wanted freedom nor took to being a free elf. She was employed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when released from the Crouch family, where, for years, Winky had been devoted to Bartemius Crouch Senior.
The name Dobby originates from English and is derived from a diminutive form of the name Dob. Diminutive names typically serve to convey affection or familiarity, often transforming a longer or more formal name into a shorter, more endearing version.
Harry named his daughter Lily Luna Potter as a tribute to both his mother (Lily) and his close, loyal friend Luna Lovegood, who supported him during difficult times, especially after loss, and was a kindred spirit who believed him when others didn't.

Rowling is Albus Dumbledore, revealed to be gay and to have had a passionate, intense love relationship with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in their youth, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the books but rather in later interviews and supplementary materials. While not canon, some fans also interpret other characters like Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, or even Harry Potter as queer, but Dumbledore and Grindelwald are the key confirmed figures.
Page 394 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban refers to Professor Snape telling the class to turn to that page in their Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) textbook, which is about werewolves, a deliberate hint that the substitute teacher, Professor Lupin, is one himself, a secret Snape was trying to expose. While the specific text varies slightly by edition, it introduces the topic of werewolves as nocturnal beasts, contrasting with the Red Caps and Hinky-Punks they were learning about, to reveal Lupin's true nature.

While the Harry Potter books themselves feature themes of fighting prejudice and acceptance, the question of whether the franchise supports LGBTQ+ issues is complex, largely due to author J.K. Rowling's public statements and activism, which have been criticized as transphobic by LGBTQ+ advocates and even some Harry Potter stars like Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, leading to a split between the books' themes and the author's personal views.
