Dumbledore's Erised vision

GOod evening all, my very first post, and I'm very glad to have found 
this list.

After seeing the film, and re-reading Philosopher's Stone again 
(Americans, please forgive my using the UK title), I was struck by a 
thought that first occurred to me the very first time I read the 
book, back in the Easter holidays 99.

It's fairly obvious that Dumbledore doesn't see socks in the Mirror 
of Erised.  As has been previously mentioned in the lists, men 
receiving socks from unimaginitive relations at Christmas is a long-
running joke in Britain.

Something that seems to have occurred to me was that perhaps 
Dumbledore saw McGonnagall.  Well, she was getting a little frisky 
(for her, at least) with Hagrid in the same chapter.  Could old Albus 
have a thing for Minerva?  And are there many other times that I've 
forgotten when McGonnagall thaws?

Incidentally (and slightly off topic) auditions were held here in 
Cambridge this week for Tom Riddle in the film adaptation of C of S.

Best wishes,

Michael
