This brings up a question in my mind: how intelligent
are these creatures, anyhow? While reading GoF, i
pretty much had the general impression that they were
quite dumb. However, if they *are* the guards at
Azkaban, and can communicate to wizards in some shape
or form, I might have to change my opinion of them. 

Another thing: since there is no mention of them in
FBaWtFT, does this mean they have 'being' status?
