Socks and wristwatches...
Have you noticed how little odd things seems to crop up a little more often than you might expect? That's the way it is with socks and wristwatches. I don't see any particular pattern in the wristwatches, to be honest with you. It's just that JKR keep mentioning them. Dudley gets a new one for his birthday. Harry looks at his quite often, and then gets frustrated when it stops working after swimming in the lake. The sun glints off the watch that George (or is it Fred) is wearing during a Quidditch game and off a watch worn by Pansy Parkinson as they are introduced to the nifflers. But except for that crazy suspicion of mine about two time lines and all that, I can't see where wristwatches could connect to anything. Just thought I'd mention it.
But socks...that's another story. There are just a couple of references here, but they are intriguing ones. First of all, when Harry asks Dumbledore what he would see if he looked into the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore said that he would see himself with a nice new pair of thick socks. So, unless he was joking, which he certainly could be, socks are Dumbledore's deepest desire. Socks. Then think about this: who else wanted a sock more than anything in the world? Dobby. And we know that house-elves are just about the most powerful magic-using entities in the world, able to do incredible magic without even using a wand. So is Dumbledore wishing he could release the elves from their centuries of enslavement so they can use their awesome powers to fight Voldemort?
