Andie:
In the book Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them (pg 3 & 4) a chicken egg hatched beneath a toad would produce a gigantic serpent (Basilisk) possessed of extraordinarily dangerous powers and a Basilisk can only be controlled by a Parselmouth (Harry or LV).  So if Trevor can find a chicken egg that he can sit on until it hatches, Harry could find himself in possession of another Basilisk.  I don't know if this is good or bad since JKR said something about Harry having another pet but if he could control the Basilisk that might be another way to get rid of Voldy horcruxes.  Maybe it can take out Nagini.

Something to think on.
