| Voldemort as Tom, one of its own too.

[Lee]:
I remember posting this back in may, but I seriously think Crookshanks
helped Sirius get in.  And, if Sirius was, as he said in POA, living in the
forest, one can get onto the grounds from the forest.  And, Sirius had been
spotted in Padfoot form on the grounds before...at the Quidditch match and
hanging out with Crookshanks who had somehow left Hermione who was in Gryf
Tower.

So, if he could do that, and Crookshanks had stolen Neville's written
passwords off his table, that sneaky part-cat could have devised a way to
help a desperate Padfoot into Gryf tower.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
