>>Giving a dangerous transfigured beast to their own sister?  Hmm...  
well, there are some out there who think that Fred is ESE! but I'm not 
convinced yet.

CathyD:
Nor am I, Allie.  Remember all the posts on the list about F&G time travelling to find out the final score for the Quidditch World Cup and that's why they placed the bet they did?  JKR certainly squashed that idea.

I'd just like to ask if no one on this list has a cat?  My cats would have been over the moon with Arnold.  A small puffy ball of fluff that emits a high pitched squeak and likes to be batted arround.  A long string-like tongue slipping across the floor.  Oh my, I can see the fun now!  

Also, when Harry was banned from Quidditch after the fight with Malfoy, he still had the Snitch in his hand and let it free in the Gryffindor common room.  Crookshanks followed it around the room too, jumping from chair to chair.
