I wonder if we are suppose to be noticing Marge, Colonel Fubster, 
and/or *Ripper*.

~~'Tea, Marge?' he said. 'And what will Ripper take?'

'Ripper can have some tea out of my saucer,' said Aunt Marge...

'But I couldn't leave poor old Ripper. He pines if he's away from me.'

Ripper began to growl again as Harry sat down. This directed Aunt 
Marge's attention to Harry for the first time.

"So!' she barked.

~~He was nine and Ripper the bulldog was chasing him up a tree and 
the Dursleys were laughing below on the lawn...

"Did you see everything I saw?" Harry asked, unsure whether he wanted 
to hear the answer.

"Flashes of it," said Snape, his lip curling. "To whom did the dog 
belong?"

"My Aunt Marge," Harry muttered, hating Snape.

Wonder why Snape is interested in the dog owner? Or is he really 
interested in the dog?
