Some versions say "curse" there.  I think that makes more sense.  "One more
curse, and our path to Harry Potter is clear."  The curse, of course, being
the Imperious Curse the real Mad Eye Moody was placed under.

JKR will have something more clever up her sleeve rather than repeat that
surprise. Now Crookshanks might have previously belonged to Mrs. Figg, but
is definitely still a cat.

I thought JKR confirmed in an interview that Crookshanks was part Kneazle
and part cat?

Well, I have a little pet theory that the Potters at some point in history
owned a/the Sorcerer/Philosopher's stone. Which turned any metal to gold.
It's just that the stone is RED and the fact that it makes GOLD that gets me
thinking there's got to be a connection.  And the fact that Harry has
inherited a vault full of gold.
