Well, the entire werewolf think was completely ruined for me since 
the name "Remus Lupin" screamed wolf louder than any Howler-or did it 
howl wolf? ok...stupid joke.  The fact that it was such a blunt clue 
disappointed me...but Sirius being Padfoot was clever.  I didn't 
remember any connection between Sirius and dog.  Barth Crouch with 
Polyjuice was a surprise...I think every book had soemthing 
delightfully unexpected...and I was dutifully delighted by all the 
little twists.  The Scabbers thing surprised me, but I couldn't help 
but marvel at the unlikliness of it all...and the fact that Pettigew 
was an Animagus was what made his escape form justice possible while 
Sirius's being an Animagus made his escape to freedom possible.  
However, I can't help but reflect on the coincidence and fatedness-if 
Shakespeare could invent words, I will too!-of Scabbers coming to 
Ron.  Well...that kinda left the thread...but there's my thoughts on 
a few matter, take it or leave it.
