That is true and it is as good a guess as any other that has been put 
forth.   But Red and green are also Christmas colours as well.

I find it likely that this is just another tease by JKR, or else why 
would she specifically mention the colour of the sock, unless of 
course it is just to show the apalling fashion sense that Dobby has.
