Unregistered Animagi

No: HPFGUIDX 1248

This came up in my head when I mentioned Rita Skeeter in my last post.
I'm *sure* that we've had this topic before but I can't remember it.

As far as Animagi go we know that Minerva Mcgon. is one (registered) 
and there was maybe four other registered ones...I think.  Ok, now 
lets count the unregistered ones....1)James Potter 2)Sirius Black 3)
Peter Pettigrew 4)Rita Skeeter...Now if a bunch of "kids" can do it, 
and an annoying journalist can do it, and NONE of them bother to 
register then who's to say that half of the Wizarding pop. aren't 
unreg. Animagi????

Some have suggested that Crookshanks is one, (I COULD believe this) 
and that Hedwig is one (honestly!) but in all likelihood couldn't we 
say that Dumbledore might be one...or even Snape....

It makes me wonder why M.M. bothered to register at all.
