Allie:

I also made a mental note of that one.  I'm having a hard time finding 
something that could be evil about a miniature Puffskein ("covered in 
soft, custard-coloured fur, it is a docile creature" - FB), humming and 
cooing and eating snot and spiders.  And I don't think JKR would make 
*another* Weasley pet an animagus.  (Been there, done that.)  Obviously 
nothing played out in HBP, but maybe in Harry Potter and the Next Grand 
Adventure...
