And I am willing to put money that he won't.

Your cats attack your feet? That's odd.

I totally agree. It is also in the roman mythology that snakes are bad 
and pheonixes are good. I guess that's where she took it from.

Well, I'm sure we will. Probably Arabella Figg can speak to her cats, 
and I believe Dumbledore can talk to Falks. Anyway, I'm positive it is 
possible to talk to other animals. If not, it is always possible to 
comunicate as buggles do!
