Pippin:
A bat animagus would have nothing to fear from a werewolf. But
a dragon animagus wouldn't be able to transform in a confined space
like the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack. Also in OOP in one of the
occlumency lessons, Harry remembers a great black dragon rearing
up in front of him. If this is supposed to be the Hungarian Horntail,
it's out of sequence, because it comes *before* Harry's recollection of
seeing his parents' images in the mirror of Erised. I wonder if this
memory actually ties into the "prior events" that took place at Privet Drive,
the Dursleys' fear that if they leave Harry alone they will come back
to find the house in ruins, and Voldemort's statements about how
well protected Harry is at Privet Drive?
