> Unfortunately, both Mundungus and Crookshanks were in the kitchen 
at dinnertime the first day HP arrives at 12 Grimmauld Place. Fred, 
George and Mundungus are laughing over a story Dung told about stolen 
toads, and Ginny was playing with Crookshanks with Butterbeer corks 
on the floor.
 
Finwitch:

So what? How do we know that Mundungus hasn't made/stolen a time-
turner? Remember, in HP, people CAN be in two (or three) places at 
the same time. And even if he'd be the um... 5th? unregistered 
animagus we've heard of, Crookshanks beeing half-kneazle would add 
something new: even half-magical creature *can* be an animagus form. 
So we'll get to Harry who'll turn into a phoenix or a golden 
griffin...!
