Fluffy was used as the first line of defense against potentional thieves of the philosopher's stone. As his name suggests, Fluffy belongs to Hagrid, who got him from a Greek person he met in a pub.
The only way to get past Fluffy is to play him music, but Fluffy wakes up the moment the music stops playing. Professor Quirrell got past Fluffy by playing a harp.
Fluffy is based on Cerberus, a three-headed dog from Greek Mythology, hence the reason that Hagrid got Fluffy from a Greek person. Like with Fluffy, Cerberus was musiced to sleep, though this is more a testment to OrpheusFor other senses of the word Orpheus, see Orpheus (disambiguation). Gustave Moreau ( 1880) In Greek legend, Orpheus was the chief representative of the arts of song and the lyre, and of great importance in the religious history of Greece. He was a Greek o' music skills rather than susceptibility of Cerberus. Note in the film Hagrid said he got Fluffy from an Irish person instead of Greek. This is a mistake. Steve Kloves says when he wrote the script it said "Greek," but was changed somewhere along the line.
