** House-elves in canon are essentially slaves. Here, they work for the wizards as part of the treaty between wizards and Fae, and while as a rule they still don't wear clothes or receive wages, they aren't bound to their wizard families and don't have to take their orders if they don't want to... and abusing a house-elf carries the risk of bringing down the wrath of the Fae upon you, which was what happened to the Blacks. As such, Dobby still works for the Malfoys, but isn't the downtrodden and abused slave he was in canon. Here, he not only wears ridiculous clothes and receives wages from the start, but has a somewhat more flippant attitude and can even refuse to follow direct orders. Lucius is not happy about this; he thinks of Dobby as a nuisance and an imbecile, but since Dobby was the only house-elf who was willing to work for a family that included Narcissa (a former Black), he knows it's either Dobby or no house-elf at all.

** Luna is half-Fae as well; more specifically she's a princess of the Summer Court.
** Both the Dementors and the Grim are mentioned as originating from Faerie, with the Grim coming from Autumn and the Dementors from Winter: Lord Acheron claims that he, along with some other Winter Fae, created the Dementors a few centuries ago, as being that would embody "the coldness, the despair, the living death of the coldest winter."

Likewise, those who have grown up in the Muggle world, like Harry, Hermione and Dean, haven't grown up with tales of evil and untrustworthy fae, and, in Hermione's words, don't share the "cultural bias against the Fair Folk that seems to be one of the staples of wizarding society."

* AccidentalTruth: Hermione's desperate ramblings to Voldemort that all the obstacles surrounding the Philosopher's Stone were so easy to bypass because they're part of an elaborate trap that Dumböedore has set up for him. She's really just trying to play for time in the hope that someone will come to the rescue, and Voldemort sees through her ruse quite easily, but admits that it ''would'' be in Dumbledore's character to try some clever ruse. [[spoiler:Turns out that while Hermione got a couple of the details wrong, she was otherwise right on the money -- see BatmanGambit below.]]

* AdaptationalIntelligence: The troll from Halloween is notably smarter than in canon. Still an incredibly stupid brute, but where the troll in canon was little more than a mindless angry beast, this one is capable of speech and reason... which doesn't make it easier on a panicking Hermione when the troll calls her "little morsel" and tells her to stop fleeing so he can eat her. Harry and Ron defeat him through trickery rather than levitation spells.
