One possible reason: isn't Dumbledore 150 years old?  If so, he might not be
listed in this century's list, not if he obtained registration in the 19th
century.  Hermione, not being aware of the long life expectancy of wizards,
and only looking for McGonagall in any case, would not have thought to look
at last century's Animagi, and thus missed Dumbledore completely.

Just a thought.
