I wouldn't make too much of this. Eagle owls are the largest variety
of owl in the world, making them especially appropriate for certain
things -- such as dreams in which people ride them, carrying large
packages, or being owned by rich snobby Hogwarts students. Great
snowy owls are almost the same size, actually, but since eagle owls
are a Eurasian species and snowy owls are north American, it makes
sense that you'd see a lot more eagle owls and very few snowy owls.
