The Giant Squid

Well, I know this is really not a central part of the storyline, but 
now that I'm waiting for Book 6, the little unexplained bits really 
catch my attention... :)

The Giant Squid...
Good or bad?  

References are made to the Giant Squid drifting lazily through the 
lake on sunny days, lifting little first years from the cold water 
into their boats, that they merpeople chase the squid away with their 
spears and that Lily would rather kiss the Giant Squid than James.  
In OoP, the group of girls in Snape's memory cooled their feet in the 
lake, but when HP is on the 2nd task, he hopes he doesn't run into 
the Giant Squid.  I don't recall that anyone goes swimming in the 
lake.  Does the Giant Squid eat Hogwarts students for lunch?  

:)

Just silly thoughts... hehehe :)
