On page 725 in The Order of the Phoenix, when they're taking their
O.W.L.S:  
"... Harry stared fixedly at the first question.  It was several
seconds before it 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..."  
I'M VERY SURE that Rowling wouldn't have included that bit if it wasn't
important.  It's one of those details that you don't pay any attention
to, and then after reading later books, you re-read the older ones and
catch clues.  This is definitely a clue.  I think.  (:  Any comments?????
