one can read that Dumbledore said he saw himself with a pair of socks
but also that Harry had a little bit of doubt about the honesty of that statement.

much much later in HP6 and HP7 it becomes clear that Dumbledore was lying through his teeth.
his greatest trauma was the death of his sister Ariana, possible by his own hand, and her to see alive was his desire, conform Harry;s desire to see his parents alive.
