I'm going to throw a big 10-4 there. :) Dumbledore is always going 
off on little tracks of seeming senility. Hooch's earmuffs, 
lemondrops, candy passwords, socks, Oddment! Tweak!, the joy of a 
room full of chamberpots, etc. :) Except for the last foreshowing the 
RoR, I don't think any of this says anything about Dumbledore other 
than his love for the common everyday. 

While we all have responsibilities in life, and in the books, DD has 
more than most, it is important to enjoy the little things in life. 
However, it would be nice for DD to explain that once before the 
series wraps up.
