"A what?"
"A lemon drop. They're a kind of Muggle sweet I'm rather fond of."
"No thank you, said Professor McGonagall coldly, as though she didn't think this was the moment for lemon drops (HPSS, p.10-11)."
Sometimes we have to cling to what comforts us. Dumbledore knows he is about to drop a very well loved toddler off with some jerks. We as readers know that he has been there before and is going to go there again-if he wants a lemon drop, let him have it.
They are fat free and yummy.....I don't mind going to the Dollar Tree if I know I can leave with a box!!! Besides, I can always say Dumbledore made me do it!
