Well,

there is another pair of socks that keep coming back to haunt us 
the pair of Uncle Vernons socks that are used to quite the 
Sneakoscope, maybe Harry could give Dumbledore these and 
both would be happy. Perhaps, and this is a stretch theory... JKR 
has a foot fetish and loves socks...I mean Amalda Marcos loved 
shoes, and this would explain the constant thread of socks (no 
pun intended). If I had to pick a theory though I would say that 
Dumbldore wants nothing more then a quite life and simple 
pleasures, and a warm pair of socks is that life. Remember also 
that when you are marked in a certain way your friends will gift 
you that way, for example you are an audiophile then you get 
CDs as gifts, if you are a movie buff you get DVDs, well if you are 
the wisest wizard in the wizarding world you get books... and 
more books... and more books still, when all you really want is a 
thick pair of wool socks which can simply be enjoyed, as we see 
when he enjoys all the silly hats and things he gets from the 
crackers. Anyway just my 2 knuts Dave
