Harry escapes nasty Dursleys to the magical World! And it's not just 
Riddle-escape in CoS, but also Harry - just look at his dream in the 
beginning, Hedwig in cage as symbol of this... And Dobby, being set 
free by Harry in the end!

Philosopher's stone itself - after creation does indeed provide 
sovereign healer/gold to infinitum. However, it is believed that in 
the process of creating it, you gain enough wisdom not to want it!

And what comes to Dumbledore sharing a big secret... Philosopher's 
stone was NOT destroyed, Dumbledore lied!
