Socks are mentioned an awful lot in Harry Potter.
For an interesting argument, check out
http://www.hp-lexicon.org/essays/socks.html

The part I like is:
"Dobby knows things they [Ron & Harry] have yet to learn.
What's the betting these socks will reappear, and turn out
to have some powerful magic knitted into them?
Were these the ones Dumbledore saw in the Mirror?"

After reading this little essay, I believe it.

Who knows, there might be a connection between socks and say knitting... I mean in book 1 we find Hagrid knitting on the underground en route to the Leaky Cauldron and what about Dumbledore's saying he was reading the knitting patterns in the loo at Slughorn's. Might just be a co-incidence, or if nothing else another laugh for us!
