Buttercup:
This is possible. Perhaps this is a subtle indication
from JKR, who doesn't want to draw too much attention,
yet knows that she must must show how Dumbledore is
actually watching over Harry.

I wonder if there are other passages in the books
where Harry notices a fly or other insects. What other
reason would JKR write a scene that included Harry
seeing a bug? Very good observation, Toad.
