Looking through the Dragon breed descriptions in _FB_, I'm going to go
out on a limb and guess that it is an Antipodean Opaleye (based on
the "iridescent scales" and "pupil-less eyes").

If I'm right, this could have implications for the Horcrux hunt:
_FB_ says that this breed lives in Australia and New Zealand.  Does
this mean that not all the Horcruxes are in the UK, or even the
Northern Hemisphere?(!!)

Another thing I find interesting about this dragon is that it
really, really looks like he/she has human-like, opposable thumbs!!

On a more general note, is anyone else getting the impression that
this book may turn out to be in tone much more like traditional
fantasy (e.g. LotR) than any of the previous six?
