Before the Founders of Hogwarts built the school of witchcraft and wizardry, elves were considered equals with witches and wizards. In fact, some thought they were superior to the humans. When Hogwarts was founded, though, the Wizards became more powerful, leaving the elves behind in their magical development.

This is the part of him you never knew.
