Following Albus Dumbledore's death in 1996, a witch by the name of Lilac Lawson, a solicitor out of Whitefield Park, visited Harry at the Burrow. She came bearing crates upon crates of legal papers and notes which Dumbledore had left in her care, for him, in the event of his untimely demise. The Order, of course, confiscated everything and investigated the authenticity of Lawson's claim and that of the papers. When they determined that everything seemed to be in order, the materials were signed over to Harry.
Amongst the crates, Harry had found a cross hanging from a purple ribbon. In the cross was secreted a roll of paper. On the paper was written a brief note: A shifter has been born. We must win him to our cause at any cost. Following this was a long list of candidates. Harry crossed off every name but one, the last, the only one who wasn't dead: Draco Malfoy.
Upon discovering this, Harry handed the information over to the Order, who launched an intensive investigation and concluded what Dumbledore suspected before he died, that Draco Malfoy was indeed a shifter, a wizard capable of invoking foreign magic and dead spells.
With this concluded, Harry set out on what may have been Dumbledore's last brilliant or fatally flawed plan. He would win Draco Malfoy over to his side of the war at any cost. He simply didn't know how to go about doing that.
It was Lawson who explained the significance of the vessel. Wizards have long held that colors have a power all their own. Dumbledore chose the purple ribbon because of the thoughts it would instigate: magic, wisdom, mystery, power, nobility, ambition. What's more, he chose a purple ribbon because he wanted to hint at a union. He thought to bring together magic and mystery, wisdom and power, nobility and ambition. Lastly, he chose the cross, a sign of divinity, of forgiveness, and of redemption. Dumbledore wanted to draw Malfoy into a Wizarding Partnership, will he or no.
Harry would do it.
