I saw it, too, but I thought the abbreviation for the first name was 
an "R."  Which, if I wasn't hallucinating, would not have been our 
favortite Transfiguration professor, but perhaps a child of hers.  
This may be turn out to be a classic example that shows how 
unreliable eyewitnesses can be - we know we saw something, we can 
come to some agreement about what we saw - yes, it was definitely a 
trophy awarded to McGonagall, and then we go off in two different 
directions...
