How about this scene:

He was nine, and Ripper the bulldog was chasing him up a 
tree...<snip> He was sitting under the Sorting Hat...<snip> Hermione 
was lying in the hospital wing, *her face covered with thick black 
hair...*

"Here you are, Agnes," said the Healer brightly to the *furry-faced 
woman*, handing her a small pile of Christmas presents. "See, not 
forgotten, are you? And your son's sent an owl to say he's visiting 
tonight, so that's nice, isn't it?"

I do think we need to take another look at Vernon (Mimble Wimble), 
Marge, Yvonne, Marjoca (mentioned in two of the books), that glass 
shattering, Colonel Fubster, and dear Ripper.

Perhaps Fubster is nothing more than a muggle but that doesn't mean 
he won't play a role in the books. Is Ripper something other than 
just your average dog? He doesn't like Harry but he does like his 
tea! :-) So perhaps someone (Fubster and/or Ripper)is interested in 
Harry and has found a way to keep tabs on him by becoming close to 
Marge who is related to Vernon. They would then have access to Harry.
