Finwitch: 
Just a few theories of mine:
As for the Eagle Owl, Harry may have seen the events in Riddle House 
trough it's eyes... and it IS a Malfoy Owl. Harry just didn't realise 
it until he was sharing senses with an owl the second time.
 
As for telling Harry the vault number -- yes, it's odd. Maybe it's to 
subtly say Harry's authorised to use it as his own? Or just to say 
how much Sirius trusts Harry? Curious that Harry, Hermione or Ron 
*don't* wonder about that.

Another matter that *might* come up later - Sirius returns in some 
form but can no longer become Padfoot. How, but by Vault number, 
could he convince Harry he truly is Sirius and not some evil 
Metamorphmagus just pretending?
