Exactly! The problem is, Harry's pouch is furry in the book - that's
what confuses me :-). In "The Will of Albus Dumbledore" chapter Hagrid
gives Harry "... a small, slightly furry drawstring pouch" (p.120
Am.ed.). Lizard skin must be smooth, right? That's the confusing part
:-)! Thank you for answering, Suzanne!
