Here you go:

"What do you see when you look in the mirror?"
"I see myself holding a pair of thick, woollen socks."
Harry stared.
"One can never have enough socks," said Dumbledore.

It was only when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore 
might not have been quite truthful. . .

Have you seen the very charming discussion about JKR and socks in the HP 
Lexicon? Perhaps someone can expand on this essay to include comments on 
other knitted items such as Weasley sweaters and the house scarves?
