Oh, for goodness sakes, don't let "newbie-ness" stop you from chiming 
in! 

You make a good point. I would say that Wormtail is in extremely 
unusual circumstances and his actions are atypical for an animagus. 
But that's just what I would say--nothing to back it up--and then why 
can't Crookshanks be another animagus in extremely unusual 
circumstances? My answer to that would be that if two of them are in 
those very unusual circumstances in the same place and at the same 
time, they aren't very unusual circumstances, are they?

Thanks for speaking up. Have we mentioned recently how much we love 
seeing new members joining our discussions?
