It was Crookshanks who stole the password list from Neville Longbottom , allowing Sirius access into the Gryffindor Common Room the night Ron was supposedly attacked, though Scabbers was the actual target.
Several times during the ensuing scuffle in the Shack, Crookshanks defends Sirius against Harry: attacking Harry when he tries to recover his wand, and sitting on Sirius' chest exactly where Harry needs to fire a killing spell at Sirius. As they exit the shack and Lupin turns into a werewolf, Peter Pettigrew seizes Ron's wand and uses it to stun Ron and Crookshanks before making his escape.
Finally, when Sirius gives Ron a new owl, Ron holds it under Crookshanks' nose for approval before accepting it. Ginny names the owl Pigwidgeon. Crookshanks is at the Burrow with Hermione.
We see him chasing gnomes in the garden before dinner. When Fred Weasley drops some fireworks as the family prepares to depart for London and the Hogwarts Express, Crookshanks is frightened and mauls a Muggle taxi-driver. He rides in the same taxi as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and all three get rather badly scratched. On the Express, and throughout the book, Crookshanks is an occasional presence, curled up on a chair, jumping into either Harry's or Hermione's lap, and generally behaving as a cat should.
Crookshanks seems to be quite willing to soak up almost any amount of affection from either Harry or Hermione, and sometimes Ginny , but does not seem to entirely trust Ron. At Number 12, Grimmauld Place , we see Crookshanks in the kitchen, playing with Butterbeer corks, and generally acting like a cat. Throughout the book, Crookshanks is an occasional presence, curled up on a chair, jumping into either Harry's or Hermione's lap, and generally behaving as a cat should. Once again, Crookshanks seems to be acting like a cat, and having only a passing role in the story.

Etymology From the surname Cruikshank, which means "crooked legs" Metzler Notes Related images Rowling on Crookshanks: When I was working in London in the late s I used to eat my lunch in a nearby square on sunny days and a large, fluffy ginger cat that looked as though it had run face-first into a wall used to prowl around the sunbathers there; I assume it lived in a nearby house.
View 3 thoughts swirling around the pensieve. Some wizards and witches make a living by breeding Kneazles or part-Kneazles. Arabella Figg , a Squib , makes her living in this manner, which would explain why she has so many cats. Kneazle whiskers can be used in wand cores although they are said to make inferior wands when compared with Unicorn hair , Phoenix feather and Dragon heartstring.
