I for one am convinced that there are plenty of clues in Book 2 as well as others that are staring us right in the face.  For example, in Book 2 (if memory serves me right) we meet Crookshanks, the cat.  He is described as bandy legged and ginger colored, and Ron notes the strange shape of his face.  In Book 4, there is a similar description of Mundungus--bandy legged and having reddish hair, and a description of his strange features.  Also in Book 4, we are reintroduced to Mundungus along with Arabella, cat lover.  Excuse the expression, but I smell a rat.  JKR is up to something here.  Anybody have any ideas?

I think cats must be important.  

We start out in PS/SS with McGonagall as a cat at Privit Dr.  We also have Mrs. Figg with all her cats and Filch with Mrs. Norris.     

In COS we have Hermione turning into a cat.  Why?  There was no need to do this and really didn't serve a purpose.  Hermione could have gone with the boys to see Draco, and nothing would have changed, or she could have planned all along to just have the boys go. I think this might be one of the important COS clues.  Remember Steven Kloves said in the COS DVD that he wanted to leave something out and JKR said he had to leave it in.  It certainly could have been left out easilyand not changed a thing.
