As usual in the animagus speculations, we're back to the annoying
question, "Why isn't she listed as registered?"  Unless Hermione
doesn't know about Harry's "Mrs. Figg", and so didn't make any
kind of connection when she saw her name.  Or maybe she's not
listed so that the Death Eaters don't know the truth about her.

I'm still laying my money on Filch as the one who "shows unexpected
magic late in life".

The Complete Works of Jane Austen comes in 7 volumes (6 Novels + a
volume of "Minor Works"); and the original Baum Oz books are 14 (2 x 7).  :)
