Given that JKR said this couldn't be done, I found Umbridge being able
to intercept Hedwig in OotP interesting, as owls generally go where
they want, straight to their recipient. I mean it would be a lot
harder to trap each owl, than simply checking all the mail when it
passes through the office, as would be done in the muggle world.
