>(CoS chap2) Then it hit me, Is she an animagus?

Um....guys?  I think me might be getting a weeeee bit to trigger-happy when 
it comes to spotting animagi red flags.

It's probably safe to assume that the vast majority of wizards are NOT 
unregistered animigi.  And how many registered ones were in that book that 
Hermione found?  Under ten, IIRC.  And while I could possibly buy the theory 
of Dumbledore being a Pheonix (though I'd be very disappointed at Rowling 
over-using the Animagi plot device) Molly Weasley doesn't seem terribly 
likely.  If she was registered, wouldn't Ron know?  I don't see her as the 
law-breaking type.  Or as the sabred-tooth tiger type, for that matter.

Sorry, I've just been a little bothered by the rampant animagi-spotting that 
seems to have been going on lately. ^_^;;
