Finwitch:

Spinning. For some reason my first thought spinning wheel, the old-
fashioned device for making thread out of wool/cotton/whatever. 
Related to Sleeping Beauty? or Fates?

Good point about spiders, though - and a place.

Spiders: Book1: Harry's FIRST sleeping place, under the stairs, had 
lots of spiders within, and Lee Jordan had a tarantula.

Book2: Hagrid's friend-pet, Aragog, his wife & the little ones who 
were about to *eat* Harry & Ron.

Book3: Ron's boggart turns into a giant spider.

Book4: Fake!Moody's target for unforgivables. The answer to the 
Sphinx's riddle is 'spider' - and Harry & Cedric fight the 
Arachnomantula together.

Book5: Did anyone notice spiders anywhere? 12 Grimmauld Place, 
perhaps? Potion ingredients? What was that silvery device Sirius 
knocked off him - didn't it sort of move like a spider?

I think there WILL be spiders somewhere...

And indeed, a place. Whose place, though? Moody's? Lupin's? Tonks'? 
Or even, Sirius' place in London, left for Harry? Where did James 
Potter's parents live? As usual, one hint provides more questions 
than answers.

Draco's detour could be Draco visitin' his Dad in Azkaban with 
Voldemort, or Draco might be getting a Dark Mark! (Voldemort is how 
Harry gets to witness it, otherwise we'd need to change pov... if 
Draco's going somewhere Harry's not, that is.) Then again, Draco 
might visit 12 Grimmauld Place - even demand it on grounds of his 
mother being a Black...

Felix Felicis... if not a person, it's a plant, an animal, a spell, a 
magical phenomenon... I understand how one might think of cats, 
though - I recall some cat-food by name of Felix, and there's that 
FELINE also... but also that James Bond's CIA friend is named Felix 
Leiter. (and all their secret weapons are a bit like magic! I wonder 
how JKR feels of James Bond 007..) But I like the thought of FF being 
the name of new DADA professor. (And I wonder where Aberforth lurks).
