Oh my gosh - mind reading or what? I woke up this morning thinking
about that very thing, about Crookshanks being an animagus or just a
cat? (never mind that I should have been thinking about things like car
payments....). I think there is more to Crookshanks - at the end of POA
they give Ron's new owl to Crookshanks to "approve" - a comical gesture
at that point, but also acknowledging some kind of "intelligence" on
the cat's part. Hopefully we shall see more evidence in the next book.

Another thought - and forgive me if this has been discussed already -
has anybody thought that Snape may not be the nasty, but well meaning
character we thought he was since the first book - it seems to me,
especially in POA that he becomes downright nasty at times, and although
I know he's doing what he thinks is right, in capturing Black, etc.,
his past seems to extremely bitter - I can't decide if this is another
device by JK Rowling to make us beleive once again that Snape is bad,
only to have him help out again in later books, or a suggestion that he
may become one of Harrys enemies at one point. Any thoughts?
