I see being an Animagus as a bit like being a specialist driver. Before
you take your Animagus out on the road, the Ministry wants to know that
you have the maturity to handle its inevitable mood swings and that you
won't be wild and dangerous in your animal form.

Transfiguration is more like taking motor maintenance classes or regular
driving lessons (Drivers' Ed, I think it is, in the States) and later,
like normal, day-to-day driving.

Imagine if ten and eleven year-olds were permitted to become Animagi at
will? The school corridors would be like a menagerie, with pigs, dogs,
blast-ended skrewts and wildebeest roaming the corridors, looking for
a good time. Filch would not be happy with the mess.

I wonder if Sirius Black had to prove his skills at Parallel Barking,
before he got his licence?
