She could very well be on the list and Hermione didn't recognize the 
name (maybe listed under her maiden name).  Let's say before she was 
married she was Molly Littleton.  It could be that only first 
initials are used, as well, so the registry would have entries such 
as this:

M. Littleton - tiger
M. McGonagall - tabby cat
etc.

How would she associate such a thing with Molly Weasley?

OTO...I think that once again, this is just JKR's way of comparing a 
human to an animal (such as the Snape/bat references) to paint a 
vivid picture in as few words as possible.  It would be worthwhile to 
perhaps take note of all of the human/animal comparisons she makes.  
Surely ALL of these characters are not Animagi!
