I think the best way to go about establishing freedom for house elves would be to talk to the house elves first about what they want. One of the biggest problems involving house elves is whether or not it is in their nature to serve and if they really love doing it, or if they have simply been evolved to believe that this is all they can do. If they are happy the way they are, then I think they should be able to chose to continue that lifestyle. The key to this argument to me is choice. The elves should be able to chose how they want to live their lives. If they want to continue living as they are then fine, but I think that some other options should be established (wages, holidays, working hours, etc) in case they do want to branch our and try another part of life.
