I think they're actually ravens, which are a symbol of death.  We also see them
congregating around McNair sitting in the courtyard sharpening his axe.

Yes, and we also see them the first time through the time loop when they first
come out of the hole, when Sirius is talking to Harry and recalling the first
time he saw Hogwarts castle.  This actually helps tie the two timelines
together, because they fly past time-turned H & Hr on their way toward the
castle.  I remember reading an interview where Dan mentioned that the bats were
really cool, except that they pee while they fly.  Ewww.  At least we know they
used real bats!
