I was struck by Molly at the train station.  I wonder if at some 
point during "Scabbers'" 12 year stay at the Burrow if Molly may 
have seen him transform into Peter Pettigrew.  She is so adamant 
that Ron not lose Scabbers as she runs along side the Hogwarts 
Express.  
Also, my family were watching SS recently and my hubby pointed out 
some foreshadowing I had never noticed.  When Harry and Ron are late 
for Transfiguration, Prof. McGonagall offers to turn them into a 
pocketwatch (time turner in POA) and the into a map (Maurader's Map 
in POA).  Was that foreshadowing, or just conincidence?
