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.
