Elladora was a lonely woman. When her parents died, all she had left were her siblings. One of her brothers died during childhood though, so she was left with one brother and one sister. Isla was disowned so Elladora didn't have her. Phineas was so caught up in running Hogwarts and had so many children, that he didn't have much time for Elladora either.
What made it worse was Elladora never married and had no children. She had no company except for the house elves that served her.
It probably made her pretty bitter and easy to temper. She couldn't deal with the house elves that outlived their usefulness, that ones that were too old to even carry a tea tray. It was her idea to cut off their heads and mount them on the walls.
After all, what good were they if they couldn't do their duties? It was her only joy in her life.
