Katze: I would like to join L.O.O.N., C.H.I.M.P.A.N.Z.E.E., and C.R.A.B.

> Musings: is JKR foreshadowing a lost in the post or substituted letter twist?  Can people tell if mail has been tampered with, or can the owl tell the wizard?  Might Hedwig be the fan of Harry's who dies, slain by a postal predator?  And where, O where did Pigwidgeon so conveniently appear from, just when Sirius needed him??  OK, so Crookshanks is confident that the whizzing featherball is a Good Guy, but could there be something more to it?  (I suppose there's always Ye Olde Animagus trick, but I'm getting very tired of that one, and apparently he's definitely an owl).  Could he be linked to a character who might rise to prominence, like Dedalus Diggle, or Otto Bagman?  (maybe there'll be a miniature racing owl breeder somewhere!)

Katze: I love Pigwidgeon as well. I think he's absolutely adorable. I'm
hoping that there aren't anymore surprise animagus (like Hedwig being
one or Crookshanks being one....evidence doesn't not support these
ideas), because it's been used before...'

As for mail being tampered. I would actually that they might be able to
detect a letter that's been tampered with if the letters came from the
wizarding world, because I don't think wizarding envelopes have glue on
them to keep them shut. We know that they use the wax and stamp to seal
the envelopes. Geez...I wonder how many pounds of wax Hogwarts used to
get Harry his letter.
