I'm not sure, but if you are implying that Hedwing is DD's animagus 
form I must respectfully disagree, for a few reasons: 
1: We have no concrete evidence that DD is in fact an animagus. That 
doesn't mean he isn't, and it isn't unreasonable to think he is, 
because he was after all the Transfiguration professor back in the 
day, but we have no evidence whaotsover that he might be. 
2: If Hedwig is DD, then DD would be with Harry practically all 
summer, meaning that he wouldn't be at Hogwarts, wouldn't be 
vacationing, nothing. He'd either be running letters for Harry or be 
locked up at the Dursley's house by Uncle Vernon. Surely someone 
would have come to rescue DD from that prediacament. 
3: What would be the purpose of DD being Hedwig? So he can keep an 
eye on Harry? He's got spies and helpers and spells a plenty that 
can do that for him. To help keep Harry informed about what's going 
on the WW? Well, he didn't do that at all, did he. And DD doesn't 
need to use spells or cloaks to be able to sneak around places. We 
know that from SS: "I don't need a cloak to become invisible." So 
why would he need to become an owl? 
4: Also, Hagrid picked out Hedwig from the Eyelops Owl Emporium. Was 
DD just sitting there waiting to be picked up by Hagrid? IIRC, 
Hagrid decided at the very last minute to buy Harry Hedwig, and 
after that Hedwig was at Privet Drive with Harry till term started. 
With all that was going on at Hogwarts that year, DD would surely 
have been missed. 
So, in conclusion, I do not believe that DD=Hedwing, but am fully 
willing to eat my words if I be proven wrong. 
Meri, who also doesn't buy the Ron=DD theory, either...
