i think i can answer your last question: an aminagi is
someone who can at will turn into an animal of his/her
choice and it'll always be the same animal. malfoy was
being transfigured by someone else, so he's definitely
not an animagus, since that was not his own choice...
oh yeah, i know what you mean by not being able to
write down any of your burning questions on shabbes...
are you able to use a phone on sabbath? in that case,
if it happens again you're welcome to phone me, email
me privately then. :-)
