Geoff:
I've always had a sneaking suspicion there is something odd about 
Crookshanks - why did he always know to go for Scabbers? I don't 
reckon it's just cat v. rat.

Come, come, read your POA! 

"Then, out of the darkness, they heard a yelping, a whining, a dog in 
pain....."

The Dementors approached Sirius first. He fainted. It was only then 
that they closed in and "formed a solid wall around *HArry and 
Hermione*". Twasn't just Harry though they seemed to concentrate on 
him after this - because he was the only one conscious?

I think you are being a bit hard on Mr.Black.

PS I am an adult male in case you have your sharpened Post Office 
pencil and grubby paper to hand. Obviously no cost spared! :-)
