Yes - and getting the books with no trouble at all. She could have
learned it by herself or had a friend ready to turn her back."

There is no education after hogwarts so I don't think an average student
after school like Rita is much smarter/powerfull then James, Remus or
Sirius, and they worked TOGETHER also and it still took 3 years.
Rita became UNREGISTERED animagi so I think she might have a lot of trouble
getting the books too (tell me: how should she have gotten the books) and
some trouble getting anyone to help her since almost everyone hates her.
