I believe that this hasn't been discussed before.

GoF (US, hardcover): Ch. 23: The Yule Ball (page 409)

Dobby is a house elf, very powerful creatures, which don't need 
wands to perform magic and are capable of appearing and disappearing 
inside Hogwarts, even though you cannot Apparate or Dissapparate 
(see Hogwarts, A History).

Harry put on his new socks for the Yule Ball:

GoF: Ch 23: The Yule Ball (page 420)
> "Nice socks, Potter," Moody growled as he passed, his magical
> eye staring through Harry's robes.
>
> "Oh, yeah, Dobby the house-elf knitted them for me," said
> Harry grinning.

We find out that Mad-Eye Moody is really Crouch Jr., responsible of 
sending Harry to Voldemort. Crouch Jr. is Voldemort's faithful 
servant (page 652) and he has already reentered his service (page 
651).

I think it is reasonable to believe Crouch knows important things 
concerning Voldemort.

Many people believe that Harry and James are descendents of Godric 
Gryffindor and that Lily is descendent of Salazar Slytherin. Red is 
Gryffindor's color and green is Slytherin's color. 

1.- Could it be that Dobby knows that Harry is a descendent of both
    Gryffindor and Slytherin?
2.- Maybe those socks have some magic in it? (As Dobby made them
    himself with the money he earned)
3.- Only Moody made a remark about Harry's socks, does he know
    something (and Voldemort) about Harry's heritage?

It seems to me that Dobby's gift to Harry is a clue, meaning he is 
both a Gryffindor and Slytherin descendent..

Some thoughts, anyone?
