Erm, perhaps not. There was a lot of discussion on this topic back in 
October. Try the dissusions starting with post 3301 which BTW you 
instigated...

My guess is that he lied (the text even points in that direction 
though I'm not sure whether anyone would consider that and accurate 
indicator or not), but if he was telling the truth then it would back 
up my pet theory that socks will indeed be the downfall of Lord V. 
But when you think about it clothes are what frees HE's and not socks 
exclusively.

Anyway I recall Neil once stating that socks will be important to the 
plot if book seven is titled "Harry Potter and the Kneesocks of 
Fear". He was kidding but for those of us with the notion that socks 
are important there's still a chance that the title of book 5 will 
change to "Harry Potter and the Order of the Stocking".

Who is afraid that he is becoming more and more like Dobby everyday. 
Why you ask? I requested socks for Christmas...
