Don't think so. Hagrid got her from a shop didn't he and he just 
thought it would be useful for Harry to have an owl because toads 
were out of fashion. Also, Hedwig's a female owl. I believe 
transfiguration doesn't change the gender of the witch/wizard.
Hedwig and AB must have really crossed in mid-air. Makes me wonder if 
AB flew to London on a broom.

It's an interesting theory though. Another thought is that Dumbledore 
can make himself invisible without the use of an invisibility cloak. 
He alluded to that in the Mirror of Erised when he told Harry he 
didn't need the cloak to be invisible. 

I'm also wondering if Crookshanks could be more than a cat. Sorry I 
didn't read earlier posts on this matter if any. He's a tad too smart 
to be an ordinary cat.
