Marianne:

JKR confirmed in some interview sometime that Crookshanks is part 
kneazle.  Perhaps it was this part of his makeup that allowed him a 
better chance of communication, however it was done, with Padfoot. And 
Fantastic Beasts tells us kneazles can become quite fond of individual 
wizards and witches.  Crookshanks certainly seemed to have bestowed 
this fondness on Sirius.

After reading OoP a number of people thought it possible that Harry 
would find a way to travel beyond the veil. I thought that was 
possible, too, and that if Harry was to do so, I wondered if 
Crookshanks would be his guide, going in both directions.  On the way 
in, to find Sirius.  And to lead Harry and Co back out, since a 
property of kneazles is an ability to lead their owners safely home.

Marianne, who never thought Crookshanks was the animagus form for 
Mundungus
