I don't think it's genetic--according to Lupin
and Black, the Marauders had to work for a couple
years at learning how to do the shape-changing thing.
Interesting, then, that Harry apparently has no ambition to learn
himself. On the other hand, I wonder if we might
find out later that Dumbledore, Voldemort, or both are
animagi. Hermione says that there have been seven
registered animagi this century, and we now know of four
unregistered ones--I'm sure there have to be plenty of other
unregistered ones out there--there would be a lot of
advantages to being able to become an animal without anyone
knowing about it. So other surprise animagi might show up later.
