He /Freed/ the Philosopher's stone from the mirror.  He /Freed/ Dobby 
with a sock.  He /Freed/ Petigew saving his life.  He /Freed/ 
Voldemort from his disgusting state.  He /Freed/ the Prophesy.  You 
see where I'm going.

Nemi I am very excited about this one.
Dumbledore says he sees a nice pair of socks in Erised, he is hiding 
the truth that he sees Harry happy, safe and *free* of suffering.
Dumbledore, as we know, tends only to allow himself to bend the truth 
rather than outright lying. So a free happy Harry, must be a pair of 
nice socks. The kind you can never have enough of.
The analogy therefore is extremely important.
I daresay socks are symbolising even more than freedom and I hope to 
see a list of "socks" quotes up for analysis.


One last point I remember reading a JKR interview where she does 
offer a hint that Socks are a _lot_ important. Does anyone else 
remember that?
