Potioncat:
I read that quote as well, although I don't have the exact wording.  
The one thing that jumped out at me was the blackbirds/crows/ravens 
around Hagrid's Hut.  I don't recall reading about them, but there 
was a huge flock of them. Blackbirds are an omen (I don't remember 
what they mean. And I wondered if ravens would play a part later on 
in the books. 

Oh, I just vaguely recalled something about ravens and a tower and a 
kingdon in British history.. Does anyone have an inkling what I'm 
babbling about?

I was also reminded of 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie.  And as 
this was a pumpkin patch (my favorite pie) I put the two together. 
Yuck! 

Potioncat who remembers trying to explain to her children that Peter 
Rabbit's father was not put in an apple pie....
