A three headed snake!  That's interesting... I bet that will show up, 
even if Harry doesn't get one as a pet.

Me too, now.  Don't know why I didn't really think of that before!

Oh yeah, IMHO.  In book 6, I think.. to really raise the stakes for 
book 7.  (I think that _all_ of Harry's parental/protector figures 
are going to be dead before this is over...)

Ooh! So, Harry has killed one King of Serpents, out-manuevered 
another... Really Impressed the King of Birds.. as a Gryffindor and a 
Leo, might he represent the King of Animals then?
