Last week, after reading FB&WTFT, I was reviewing books 3 and 4 to
write my most recent chapter of Surfeit of Curses
(http://www.fanfiction.net/index.fic/index.fic?action=story-
read&storyid=96654) and something caught my eye.
Crookshanks reaction, or rather, is lack thereof, when Draco and his
cronies come into the train compartment.
As you all know, Crookshanks attacks Scabbers (aka Peter pettigrew
aka Wormtail) and when Hermione gets him to calm down, doesn't take
his eyes off him.
However, when Draco comes in, Crookshanks does nothing negative - it
would take only one line by JKR, something like "...and Crookshanks
woke up from his snooze and glowered at Malfoy..." or "...they didn't
even realize he was there until they heard Crookshanks hiss..." Lines
like that, on a reading of the books pre-FB&WTFT could have been
assumed as a regular catty reaction - but after reading about
Kneazles in FB&WTFT, it would've been clear to ALL of us that JKR was
saying that Draco was an "unsavoury or suspicious character".
But she didn't.
Now, she MAY be saying that Crookshanks has no reason to deem Draco
a "suspicious" character because they already know that he's an evil
git.
But if that was so, he'd still be unsavoury (ok, readers of Draco
Sinister, stop thinking that!!!!)

Any comments?

Doreen a comment :)
I think that Crookshanks is an unregistered Animagi and originated from the
same time as James Potter. I just think that he does not know how evil Draco
is yet. By the same token, I think that if Crookshanks were around Lucious,
she would pitch a hissy fit!
