* AlasPoorVillain: When she's petrified by the basilisk. Even then, Ron has to comment that they're honestly better off without her.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Mrs. Norris is capable of identifying when students are misbehaving and then running off to get Filch. Filch often speaks to her, calling her "my sweet", although it's not clear to what extent she can actually understand him. Mrs. Norris can apparently communicate back, although we never find out how. Maybe Filch [[SpeaksFluentAnimal understands "cat"]] and they have BilingualDialogue. The usual {{Fanon}} is that they have some kind of psychic connection.

Hedwig is often described as hooting, but snowy owls bark instead of hoot. [[CaptainObvious Also, owls don't deliver the mail.]]
