Brilliant deduction.

I bid you all, pause for a moment and ponder Harry and Hedwigs
relationship. 

Harry is very much alone in this world. His only know relatives make
him feel very unwelcome and very much out of place. Harry, at the
closest deepest most intimate level, has no one; no one accept Hedwig. 

True, he has friends, but, as we all know, over the course of a
lifetime, friends come and go. Hedwig is the only living thing on this
earth that is Harry's alone. Hedwig is there summer and winter, in
school and out. Hedwig is there late at night when Harry wakes feeling
scared or lonely. Hedwig always listens and never judges. She gives
him that special love and comfort that pet are so good at giving. In a
sense, being the only living thing that truly belongs to Harry, Hedwig
is his only family, his only constant, the only living thing that he
can count on to alway be there with and for him; his friend, his
companion, his confidant, his confessor.

The death of Hedwig would be very hard indeed, it would be like Harry
losing his only brother... er... I guess that would have to be sister.

Hard to say if it's true, but I think it was a brilliant conclusion to
reach.

Just some thoughts.
