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.

where Harry notices a fly or other insects. 


Toad again:
Chapter 20 of GoF:  "He spent the rest of the lesson trying to 
attract small objects toward him under the table with his wand.  He 
managed to make a fly zoom straight into his hand, though he wasn't 
entirely sure that was his prowess at Summoning Charms--perhaps the 
fly was just stupid."

Noticed this while doing a re-read.  Fuel for the fire....if there 
is one anymore.
