CoS: "in a tiny junk shop full of broken wands, lopsided brass 
scales, and old cloaks covered in potion stains they found Percy, 
deeply immersed in a small and deeply boring book called Prefects 
Who Gained Power."

Please point me to the evidence that McGonagall can take more than

Oh, yes, there is a really elaborate set of theories in which she was 
a witch, the wife of a Death Eater, who turned her into a cat to 
punish her for cheating on him with a Squib, and Filch's desperation 
to learn magic (from Kwikspell) is because he needs to lift the curse 
.... I can't remember the acronym.

Yes, but it is said to be normal to have yew trees in English 
graveyards.
