Maybe Hedwig knew they wouldn't give Harry a Christmas present of their own
accord, so she stayed at their house and annoyed them for awhile until they
gave her something to take to him. She is a smart owl after all ;)

Re: McConagall knowing:

All of the teachers were on "high alert" during that time with the "threat"
of Sirius being on the loose and supposedly looking to kill Harry. So i
don't really find it abnormal that she was there in a flash as soon as she
knew something was wrong. She could even have been sleeping in the common
room (in her cat form) to be close by just in case.

That's a very good theory! But he would have slashed the portrait to gain
entrance to the hall BEFORE awakening Ron, right? And if so, that would have
given McConagal even more time to hear the fat lady and then dash into the
hall as Ron screamed.

Nopers, not at this point in the book. They got Sir Cadgon to replace the
Fat Lady *after* this event where Sirius slashed her picture. Or did the
slashing take place on a different night than the night when Sirius woke up
Ron? Oh now i'm all confused :P I wish i had a digital copy of the book so i
could do a search on it instead of flipping through pages hoping to stumble
across the part i'm looking for :P
