The tea cosy:
- Keeps the tea in the pot hotter
- Stops you burning your hand on the tin pot
- Holds the lid on the teapot so it doesn't topple while pouring
- Allows House Elves to poke ears through where a tea pot would have 
the spout poking through one side and the handle the other.

It looks like a beanie with slits on either side. Traditionally, 
they were knitted with wool, so stretchy. The quilt matterial ones 
have larger splits on the sides since they don't stretch as well.

If Dobby can wear a tea cosy, that makes his head the size of a tea 
pot. So is it the tea pot like the one the Mad Hatter uses in Alice 
in Wonderland for his tea party, or the one Mary Poppins uses on the 
ceiling?

Great question, Lynn and now watch the debate over the size of 
Dobby's head grow .... lol
