Potioncat:
Fluffy, obviously.  

Of course, to JKR, Fluffy is a three-headed dog with lots of big 
teeth.

Dreamt it all? I've heard that before, but why is it now that I'm 
picturing Snape, Dumbledore and Lupin, all dressed as Muggles, 
leaning over the recovering Harry as he says,"But you were there!  
You were a scarcrow,and you were a tin man...."

Book 6 will be the first book I've read after becoming a true 
Potterhead. (My daughter's term of endearment.)  I hope I haven't 
adopted too many firmly set expectations, and that I can just enjoy 
the book as written.  So far there have always been pleasant 
surprises and unpleasant surprises, but no disappointments.
