I don’t know about the canon, but the narrator calls it a ‘small tune’ or ‘little tune’, so I’d guess it’s the Little Fugue in G Minor which Eliezer’s mentioned several times here.
The idea appealed to me because it meant you were protesting that the villain was not an author mouthpiece at the same time as he was whistling your favourite piece of music while contemplating murder. As an act of contrariness, it would’ve been of a kind with writing “colder than zero Kelvin” when you were still arguing with the reviewers who didn’t get the “divided by zero” joke.

You don’t think it’s a canon?
In fanfiction? Not likely.
Perhaps it’s Pachelbel’s canon in D. ;-)
...I am not sure if Professor Quirrell whistles Bach. I shall have to think about it.
