We already know the registered list is wrong. Peter, James, Sirius
and 
Rita Skeeter were/are all unregistered animagi. I have a sneaky 
feeling that there are more animagi out there, but they just haven't 
bothered to register or they don't want to register.

Also, Dumbledore is a very powerful wizard. He defeated one Dark 
Wizard in the 1940s and has a healthy number of enemies. Wouldn't it 
make sense for him not to register? Afterall if everyone knew 
Dumbledore transforms into a bumblebee, Dark Wizards could just 
conjure up insect spray and kill any bumblebee they happen upon.
