Padfoot
Yorkshire name for a large phantom black dog, it was as big as a calf and haunted lonely roads.

(For those of you who haven't read Book 3 yet or seen the movie, Padfoot was Sirius Black's nickname because he turns into a dog.)

i never thought he was more than a dog he was always described as a big black dog. It was scary why harry thought he was the grim. I got scared that it may be a omen of death. I wonder besides the grim what other omens are there?

I also found this out.

"Sirius Black's "marauder" nickname.

The padfoot is supposed to be similar to a werewolf. It's a giant, black, wolf-dog that lived mostly in the southeast areas of England. As if that name wasn't perfect enough, Eslington (on the WIAN boards) informs me that a "Footpad" is a type of thief or highwayman who preys on pedestrians while on foot, a rather appropriate name for a Marauder. "

I found this here.
