Good point.
I did wonder whether  Aunt Marge's dog was a disguised Crup; this 
would explain why it seemed to hate everyone it met. 
Harry has some Muggle blood so it'd probably  be anti-him too.
But I quailed at presenting  the theory that Aunt Marge is a witch;
possible, but not  enough canon to support it - yet! One for
later, perhaps.

Thestrals, though. No, I hadn't considered those. Mind you,  if
Harry wandered around asking people  if they'd seen his invisible
pet, he'd end up in the bed next to the Longbottoms in no time.
