Oz and JKR's website

Has anyone else noticed this:  On JKR's website, in the background we 
can hear birds chirping. And I swear, to me, it sounds like they are 
chirping the tune of the song in Wizard of Oz where Dorothy has just 
landed in Oz and she is explaining how she came to be there. It has 
the words in it, "The house began to twitch and then to pitch," etc. 
and goes on to describe how it landed on the witch in the ditch, 
which wasn't a "very healthy situation for the witch." (I don't 
remember the name of it...)

The birds sound like they are chirping the first few notes of this 
song. Does anyone else hear it? If it is not that song they are 
chirping, it is definitely SOME song. Anyone figure it out? Does it 
mean anything?

Plus, when the doorbell rings, a dog barks, 6 times. Dog, Sirius, any 
clues there?

(Boy, the LOONS of the world are going to LOVE this:) Also, in the 
descriptions under miscellaneous facts, JKR tells us that she has 
heard of this Harry Potter and that -- and I think there are 5 that 
she lists. In the next page, she mentions the number 101, and so on. 
In other words, on every sheet she mentions certain numbers and I'm 
wondering if there is any significance to them?

Maybe I am reading too much into everything, but it just seems JKR 
has such an economy of words, she wouldn't just put something out 
there without a specific meaning -- without it being a clue.

Thanks for the opinions!
