This is totally left of field but I had to delurk and chuck it out 
there. Some time ago, I posted a long three-part essay outlining what 
I believed to be the hidden pattern behind the HP books. In the 
essay, I hypothesised that they were set up as a hexagram, with the 
first three mirrored by the second three and the seventh book to tie 
them all together.

In this theory, PoA would mirror HPB (along with PS/ GoF and 
CoS/OotP) and I theorised that clues to what would happen in HPB 
could be determined by what happened in PoA. The fact that the title 
refers to a person (exactly the same as PoA and the only one other 
than PoA to do so) seems to go some way towards supporting this 
theory.

I read the spoiler behind the door and one thing hit me immediately – 
this person, whoever he is (whether he be the HPB or not), reminded 
me forcibly of Crookshanks – the yellow eyes, the limp (much like 
Crookshanks' bandy legs), the tawny coloured hair, even the lion like 
features.  It seemed to somehow be appropriate as PoA was the book 
where we first met Crookshanks. I know Crookshanks is part-kneazle 
and that the likelihood is slim, but is it possible (even just a 
little bit) that Crookshanks is somehow an animagus and that this man 
is he? At the very least, there seems to be a strong connection there 
between them. I wouldn't be surprised if he had something to do with 
that cheeky cat.
