I noticed in at least two posts last week that touched on the 
possibility of Harry becoming an animagus.  Didn't think too much 
about it until I also noticed that our fantastic posts also has this 
as a mystery.  Anyway, we already know that he will not train to 
become one and have known this for quite some time.  And unless he 
has some natural ability to pick up the technique without training, 
he won't.  And, of course, if he has some spare moments while locked 
up in Azkaban, he may figure it out.

There may have been some backtracking on this since 1999, but here is 
my source (jump to RealAudio time 24:50):

I must admit, this is my most favorite JKR interview--especially with 
the last question's answer--"nudge, nudge, wink, wink."
