err... I count five (Potter, Pettigrew, Black, McGonagall and Skeeter). 
Who's the sixth? Or are you counting Lupin, who's a werewolf, not an Animagus?

I don't see why not. Just because magical creatures are unusual to us 
Muggles, there wouldn't appear to be any intrinsic reason for Animagery to 
limit itself to those creatures unseen by Muggles. Then again, we know very 
little about Animagery and so anything is possible.
