Nadine responds :

That wasp (assuming it is always the same) ? Another animagus ? 
Maybe. Although, didn't JKR said there wouldn't be anymore 
unregistered animagus in the series ? Assuming the wasp is, indeed, 
an animagus, I doubt it is Dumbledore because if DD is a 19th 
Century «registered» animagus - unchecked by Hermione - I picture 
him transfiguring in a more complex and powerful animal... Also : 
there is definetly something weird about that wasp ! It seems to 
always be in the right place at the right moment. Let's say the wasp 
is... Ludo Bagman. After all, wasn't Bagman a champion for the 
Wimbourne (sp ?) Wasp Quidditch team ? You are right Vivian. We see 
a wasp two times in the series. In GoF (The Tird Task), Ron is 
attempting an Impediment Jink on a wasp (the first one) who just 
happens to be buzzing in the room. Was Bagman checking on Harry's 
training for the final task ? After all, Bagman had a lot of money 
on this one... I think he was working for himself at this point. And 
then, in OotP (chapter ?), there is the second wasp. I don't have my 
book with me but isn't it during Harry's History of Magic exam (when 
he falls asleep and dreams of Sirius being tortured) that we hear 
the wasp buzzing again ? Assuming that Bagman is the wasp and that 
he has rejoigned his true reborned master (Voldy), he could have 
been keeping an eye on Harry, waiting for his cue : «Ok ! The kid is 
having the dream ! Carry on with the MoM plan !» I know Bagman is an 
idiot so the wasp could, matter of factly, be any other DE. Malfoy 
is a good candidate as well !

As for Snow's inquiry about the 12 uses of Dragon's blood, didn't 
JKR confirmed, at one point, that the twelfth use is oven cleaner ?

À la prochaine !
