Have you noticed that Snape is the only one of the major 
wizarding characters who has neither an animal shape nor an 
animal companion? Think about it.

Ron:Scabbers:Pigwidgeon
Hermione:Crookshanks
Neville:Trevor
Draco Malfoy:eagle owl
Dumbledore:Fawkes
McGonagall:cat animagus
Sirius:dog animagus:Buckbeak
Hagrid:Fang
Voldemort:Nagini
Pettigrew:rat animagus
Lupin:wolf shape

Red herring or red flag?
