Potioncat:
When I read the book earlier, I thought the Eagle Owl was a clue
that Malfoy was involved. But it doesn't look like he was. If the
owl was Draco's owl or the family owl, I don't think any Malfoy knew
it was being used to send mail to LV. Given that Crouch!Moody was
no friend of the Malfoys, it would seem odd for him to use the
Malfoy owl. I'm sure Lucius and most of the DEs knew something was
up, but I think only Barty Crouch Jr and Pettigrew knew that LV was
fully back.
So the question is, was it indeed Malfoy's owl? Can anyone just use
any owl? Yes, I know Crouch!Moody wouldn't mind breaking rules, but
it would seem odd if anyone saw him using Malfoy's owl. So are
there two different Eagle Owls at Hogswarts?
Does anyone have a SS/PS handy? Are we told what kind of owl came
with an urgent request for Dumbledore just before Quirrell went for
the stone?
