Aggie:
Thanks to SSSusan and Kneasy for pointing out to me that there are 
several mentions of insects, not just Rita!!  Even after her (Rita)
spying, I *still* don't pick up these titbits of information!!!!  
Shame on me!!

Anyway on to topic or the elves will be after me!

DD could be a bee animagus as Hermione's research into registered 
animagi only went for 'this' (20th) Century.  DD would have, more 
than likely, been registered the previous century.  My only problem 
is *why*??  Not why would he be an animagus, but why would he be 
watching Harry doing his History of Magic exam?  Was it the one when 
Harry had a vision?  If it was, AND DD *is* the wasp (just checked 
with Kneasy's post, it was a wasp not a bee!), does this mean that DD 
KNOWS Harry's about to get a vision?

It *does* make sense for DD to keep an eye (or 6!) on Harry in this 
way.  

Someone also mentioned about Ludo Bagman being a wasp, as he played 
for the Wasps.  If it wasn't for the fact that it would mean yet 
*another* unregistered animagi then I would prefer this theory! 

It would account for his whereabouts in OotP AND he could be using 
his wasp form as a way of spying on Harry for LV. . .couldn't it 
Kneasy!!  I'm *convinced* (to the point of working on a Ludo essay) 
that he WILL be back!  Could Ludo be over 100 years old?  Could he 
have registered in the 19th century?  Could Hermione have read his 
name but just not mentioned it?  This is the only problem I have, I 
*really* don't want another unregistered animagi!!
