Hmm, I wasn't thinking about purposeful bestiality, just accidental, 
so I'm sorry for giving anyone gross images. I've been around some 
unfixed male dogs recently, and, well, things can "happen" very 
quickly. And on a purely speculative level--like you said, Rowling 
isn't going to address this in a children's novel--its an odd little 
puzzle, and might account for centaurs.
