4.- It was Christmas and Dobby gave Harry Christmas colored socks. Red
and Green are colors associated with Christmas in the US.

Although, this wouldn't be the first time Dobby dropped a hint that
went completely over my head.

I think the Gryffindor association is easy to make and is known my
several people. But, I think that very very few or less know about the
Slytherin connection, if there is one. I think, if it exists, it will
become known by a random sequence of events. Only then will deep
reflection and analysis reveal the truth of it.

It is an interesting theory. Perhaps the first time in history that
the direct bloodlines of Gryffindor and Slytherin have intersected,
and the result is one of the most powerful wizards to ever exist. 

I like it, I'm just not sure if I believe it.

Just a few thoughts.
