Harry/Hedwig is actually a running joke in the fandom - well, joke 
to everyone but Simon Branford that is, as his pet theory is that 
Hedwig is an animagus or trapped (like some birds in old Grimm 
fairytales) in the body of a bird against her will. And the ideal 
Harry/Hedwig fic wouldn't include any relations while Hedwig is in 
bird form, but after she's transformed/been freed from her 
imprisoning spell, their love will blossom into a OTP (one true 
pairing) of wonder and magnificence. 

Or something like that. I think Simon came up with the theory in the 
first round of ship wars, to say that he was an H/H shipper, but not 
Harry/Hermione.
