Book Cover Questions

Ok. After almost 7 months, I give up. I cannot decipher the
back cover of the regular American edition of OOP and I have some
questions about the special American edition book cover.

About the regular edition:
I know that the trio at the bottom are Moody, Tonks and Lupin
and that Sirius is to the left above them. Are the swirly things 
supposed to be orbs? I thought the description of the orbs made them 
like snow-globes, which these things do not resemble at all. And 
what does the silhouette in the doorway at the top-right of the page 
mean? On the other side of the doorway the image looks like a ribbon 
of smoke.

About the special edition:
My guess is that the rat on the bottom of the back cover is
Peter, the person in the window at the top of the house is Sirius,
the shadow in the bottom left window is Kreacher, the 2 Dementors
that attacked Harry are at the bottom of the front cover (on the
inside fold),and that the paper afire in front of the house is 
Dumbledore's instructions about the address of the house which Moody 
destroyed (thank you, FoxyDoxy). Are those doxies that decorate the 
house(one is headless and more that one seem to have one wing or a 
damaged wing)? Are those Dumbledore's glasses hanging from the fence?

I know this was probably discussed at length before, but try to
do a search with Yahoo. Feh!

Thanks loads in advance!
