[HPforGrownups] Rita Skeeter Bug

I see one flaw in Hermione's plan.  What's to stop Rita from going to the Ministry of Magic and getting registered as an Animagus.  If Rita does that then Hermione has no dirt on Rita and Rita can continue her career.
 
P.S. I also think that calling Rita a cow is an insult to cows.

  She needed to ascertain that Rita (I won't call her a cow because it's an 
  insult to cows)
  *wasn't* registered (and therefore was breaking the law) so that Hermione 
  had something
  to blackmail her with.
