The second article you published has some interesting stuff. Primise of the article is Jessica Mittford along with Bob T are the creators of HP. Seems a stretch until you see how JK Rowlings talks about Jessica Mittford as her inspiration, and what are the chances that Treuhaft partner was called Dobby and HP has a Dobby character. And coincidently Hillary Clinton worked for Bob

Following on from these discussions I undertook some research of my own on the Mitford / Treuhaft connection and found that Bob Treuhaft’s business partner in his legal firm for almost 20 years was someone who went by the name of ‘Dobby’ Walker. This was just her nickname but even so her Wikipedia obituary refers to her as ‘Dobby Walker’ and not ‘Doris Walker’, her real name.

For those of you unaware, ‘Dobby’ was an elf-like character in the HP stories who was employed as a ‘manservant’. Maybe this is how Treuhaft and Mitford regarded Walker? In delving even further into Walker’s background it appears that she was an active member of the Communist party in the 1940s and 1950s as were Mitford and Treuhaft.
