Carol responds:
I think we have a hint to that effect when Hagrid says that he bought
Fluffy "off a Greek chappie"--although I've been informed offlist that
the Greek translation turns the "Greek chappie" into an Arab!

Don't know what to think of that or whether JKR would approve, but the
medium we don't name turned him into an Irishman, so maybe it's not
important after all.
