Dear native teachers
There seems to be a problem understanding this three sentences following the context. Can you please paraphrase them or something? (The unhighlighted sentence is "Thought I'd send this with Pig anyway", which is the last sentence of the first part of the letter.)

Dear Contraposition, In this book, there is an owl called "Pig"; Harry considered "Pig" to be an unusual name for this owl as it did not look like a pig. Kind regards, Michael

Sorry, Contraposition, but I am not clear which sentences you still don't understand. Can I suggest that you copy them into a message and tell us what you think they could mean? Then, we can try to help you more precisely.
Kind regards,

Dear Contraposition
The likely reason why he's also sending the message with Pig is that he is not sure how fast Muggle post is. Pig was coming to see him, I presume for other reasons anyway, so giving him the message to deliver was not a problem.

Muggles might have received the letter already. I don't know how fast the Muggles' postal service is.
So I thought I would give this note to Pig (the owl) to fly to you.
