This may have been spoken of before, but I have just started reading
the books again from the start.
Now in the Philosopher's Stone when Harry is looking in the mirror
of Erised and realizes that Dumbledore is there he asks Dumbledore,
"What do you see when you look in the mirror"? To which Dumbledore
replies "I? I see my self holding a pair of thick woolen socks". It
goes on to say that it struck Harry that Dumbledore may not have been
quite truthful.
My question is, now that we know a bit more about Dumbledore and his
flaws, what do people think he saw?
It is easy to say that he sees himself with his sister, but maybe he
sees himself with all the hallows. Maybe he sees himself with
Grindelwald in a world dominated by wizards and muggles as slaves etc.
Remember it shows your desire not your wishes, what do people think??
