Well - She is the transfiguration teacher. This 'penalty' has to do 
with HER subject of teaching! It could have been partly that.

Also - being transformed might hurt almost as much as Cruciatus! Just 
think - it hurts to break a bone - having EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY to 
alter at the same time and stay in altered form - it must hurt - and 
hurt worse than switching or bouncing. And I'm not so sure that 
McGonagall would object that much to switching Draco Malfoy as 
punishment...

It might also be that only few people know the reversion spell 
(McGonagall, Sirius and Lupin do(they've done so), as did James 
Potter - Rita Skeeter (animaguses), Dumbledore(who knows nearly 
everything), possibly Crouch Jr. (who turned Malfoy - I think he 
knows counterspell)and Moody(paranoid Auror would learn any counter-
spell he can))
