8. The Willow is associated with grief and death
Here is the most important part of the whole analysis.  I found it 
particularly interesting that it was Sirius Black who pulled Ron 
into the Whomping Willow - Sirius Black who takes on the form of a 
big black dog (grim?) and later dies in OoTP. The Willow is commonly 
planted in cemeteries around Britain, particularly those near water. 
The imagery here is quite startling – Sirius Black (the dead man/ 
grim) pulling Ron into the `cemetery'?

Sherrie here:

Adding another layer: particularly in Victorian times, the willow was 
specifically associated with the death of a young unmarried person.  If not planted, 
it might be carved on the headstone of the deceased.
