Bonjour,
I think I have something here that hasn't been noticed before. In
an interview,
JKR said that she wouldn't like to turned into a cockroach.

Imagine
>how horrible it would be if I turned out to be a cockroach!
And in PoA when Lupin is giving the lesson on the boggart, Lupin turn
his moon orb into a cockroach to defeat the boggart.
My theory is that someone is an animagi (Rita Skeeter turned into a
beetle after all) and this is known by Lupin and by Dumbledore,
considering that Cockroach Cluster is one of the passwords to his
study. Doesn't Dumbledore know everything
about his staff?
If this animagi is known to Lupin and to Dumbledore, I propose that
it is Snape. Bat-like he may be, but does he not also remind you of a
cockroach somewhat? Greasy, dirty, living in the dungeons? Maybe this
was how he did his spying for Dumbledore. Snape said that maybe
Harry got the Marauder's Map straight from manufacturers, thus Snape
may have been in transfiguration with Padfoot, Wormtal, Prongs and
Moony. If Snape was in transfiguration with the Marauder's (current
controversy aside), why can't Snape know how to transform?
And don't you see a cockroach as the reflection of his personality?
Lupin stepped on the cockroach, something he's not afraid of, and
he's not afraid of Snape.
Then again maybe I'm just a huge Garbagescow.
