[HPforGrownups] Mrs Norris: A Character Study

Never read the book.  I am leaving the post I am responding to below to include all points.  As far as being Animagus, I am not certain.  There is something in me, though that believes that if they are not related, then Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris are at least the same breed of cat (like fae cat, perhaps? Do the fae exist here in HP?  Elves do?), since alot of their habits seem to run parallel to each other.

I can't give comment very well on Mrs. Norris being Mrs. Norris, but knowing how well read Jo was, perhaps it is a distinct possibility!

  I don't think she's an Animagus.  Wormtail is the only Animagus that stays
  transformed, and he did that for obvious reasons.  Why would one choose to
  be a human in a cat's body?

  On another note, does the consensus hold that Mrs. Norris is named for Jane
  Austen's Mrs. Norris from Mansfield Park?
