Best Answer

Fluffy has three heads and was guarding the Philosopher's Stone. Fluffy is reminiscent to the three-headed dog Cerberus from Greek Mythology. There's no racial name for these creatures, so most people just call them Cerberus.

In the book, Hagrid said he "bought him off a Greek chappie I met in the pub las' year." The seller's nationality is, of course, a nod to Cerberus being from Greek mythology. For some reason, Hagrid's line was changed in the movie, replacing "Greek chappie" with "Irish fellow" and thus cutting the book's mythological in-joke.

They play music until he falls asleep.

This is also what Orpheus did to Cerberus in the Greek myth.
