Here are some of my (hopefully original) predictions about what 
Dumbledore saw in the Mirror of Erised.

He saw himself holding socks. Perhaps he wants the House Elves to be 
free, maybe to help fight Voldemort. You know, in CoS, when Harry 
gave Dobby a sock to free him? But Dumbledore could DESIRE this 
because he knows that the House Elves don't want to be free. However, 
can't Dumbledore(their master) tell them to fight Voldemort? Maybe 
for some reason House Elves aren't allowed to fight or be violent at 
all. Another thing is that Dumbledore couldn't have known that Harry 
would free Dobby with a sock (it happened in CoS, and the Mirror of 
Erised was in SS/PS)... could he? I suppose it could have been 
Trelawaney's prediction, but I rather fancy the 'boy born around 
halloween, 1979'idea.

Any opinions on this?
