Given that we only have what...4,5,6...six examples of an animagus
wizard and they all are "muggle" animals, I do wonder if the animal
kingdom available to them also extends to the magical?

Would the skills and traits of that magical creature also be available
to the wizard?  While the animagus wizard still has the mental
capacity of their human form, they are limited to the physical
capacities of the creature.  (i.e. they can't talk as their animal
form, but are capable of reading a newspaper.)  So, if they were to
become a...let's say, since we all know their characteristics...a
kneazle.  They would look cat-like and have the ability also to detect
suspicious people.  Would be an advantageous animagus transformation I
think.

So, if your personality is most similar to a kneazle or even a pixie
(I know a few people who are), why wouldn't you become an animagus of
that magical creature?

who is also just musing but feels there probably is some rule in one
of JKR's notebooks somewhere that says they can't
