Harry's Daemon (from Pullman's trilogy)

Hey Everyone -

I've been reading Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy, and am 
starting _The Amber Spyglass_ today.  There are many fascinating 
things about these books, but the one thing I can't stop thinking 
about is daemons.  I want one - badly.  I envy Lyra for having Pan.  
This brought up the question of what Harry's daemon might be if he 
walked through a window into Pullman's world.  I also wondered about 
Ron and Hermione's daemons too.  So, for those of you who have read 
the Dark Materials trilogy, what do you think?  Please don't talk 
about the third book, though, especially not about what animal Pan 
eventually decides to keep, because I don't know yet.

This question was completely motivated by Amy Z, with whom I had a 
looooong discussion about daemons yesterday and today.  We also talked 
about what our own daemons would be.  Thanks, Amy!
