nah, surely a box full of muggle lemon sweets...dd is sweetly simple...and he probably reminds his fight with Grindelwald when a dementor is near...no, for sure he don't remind anything, he's too much powerful to let anything to affect him...

but dont you think that would be his happiest moment? when voldie is finally defeated?

his boggart... hmm.. cant imagine anything frightening him so much... i mean, if voldie doesnt... maybe he also sees a dementor upon seeing a boggart, wchich suggests that his greatest fear above all is fear. that makes him a true gryffindor.

no idea what his dementor might be, though.

so perhaps that he sees himself holding a pair of socks is really true?

yes... i think he is indeed telling the truth... although he only says one part of the truth that still confuses us...

socks are a symbol of freedom. it is no surprise that dobby's ticket to freedom is a sock. so maybe, dumbledore really wants to be free. after all, he is just a simple man who likes simple sweets like lemon drops.

maybe it wont, but we can deduce clues from it. if you notice in the UK edition there is someone behind harry's back holding a sword - it might be dobby. and maybe, just as harry freed dobby (by giving him socks), dobby will help harry be freed of the burden of LV. and from there we can deduce that the socks symbolize freedom, which explains why DD sees that in the mirror.

okies... just what i think

1. well, what might DD's boggart be?

maybe a dementor... or maybe he had and abusive father... like snape...

2. what might he be forced to remember when he sees a dementor?

losing a loved one... or maybe just general Hate

3. what would he see in the mirror of erised?

i like the idea that he really does see socks
