I'm sure mixed households could- I mean the muggle members of the household are quite aware of the magical world. Most of the restrictions are to keep muggles out of the loop, clearly it is too late for these muggles.

Okay- question: We have established that side-along apparition is possible, right? So, what would happen if a human attempted to side-along apparate with a House Elf? Would the house elf's magic be strong enough to apparate them both?

I think the ELF would have to be the one taking someone side-along, which may not be a skill they have. Recall we've only seen side along a few times. If it was easy then the Weasley's could have used that to avoid flooing to Diagon and all that... I think it's an added skill beyond apparition yourself, that probably has to be practiced very thoroughly. At least... that's how we regard it at erters.org *Shameless Plug.*

If the house elf doesn't actually know side along, I think there's a really good chance of getting splinched.

Ow.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. There was that one time that Roy got a little splinched when using side-along apparition with Hermione which shows how dangerous it can be.

I'm thinking that house elves might not be able to use side-along with a human (if at all) and even if they could I wouldn't be surprised if the magical charms around Hogwarts and other no-apparition areas stop humans from apparating at all, be it directly or via side-along with a house elf.
