On behalf of L.O.O.N., I salute you.  I'm not sure this is canon 
either.  The reference that comes to mind is something I can't check 
because my copy of GF is still lent (apparently there exist people who 
can keep a Harry Potter book on their nighttable and read a chapter a 
night rather than stay up all night until it's done).  When Harry 
first goes into Moody's office (this would be in "The First Task," 
IIRC), there's a description of how it looked under previous 
occupants.  It says something about how when Lupin lived there there 
was usually some interesting creature they were about to study.  The 
adjective might've been "dark."

the other hand, half the fun is the things you find while searching
