When Harry goes to take the History of Magic O.W.L, there's a detail

occurred to him that he had not taken in a word of it; there was a 
wasp buzzing distractingly against one of the high windows."

Any entomologists out there? 

It seems like a weird place to mention a buzzing wasp inside of 
Hogwarts, especially considering Harry's behavior and the events 
during this exam. Perhaps this wasp is an animagus?

Me:
I actually didn't notice this, but I doubt it's meant to be an animagus--we've seen one bug as it is, and I think Rowling knows that if she uses them again (especially like that) a storm of fans will be at her door with pitchforks.
