Not necessarily...

"*I, Sirius Black, Harry Potter's godfather, hereby give him permission to 
visit Hogsmeade on weekends.*
'That'll be good enough for Dumbledore!' said Harry happily." - PoA ch 22 
page 433 US paperback

I think that Harry would've given or sent that to Dumbledore directly, not 
McGonagall. Whether or not she could tell if Sirius was as animagus, or if 
Dumbledore had told her, ect - Harry wouldn't know, so he wouldn't have 
risked it.

Then if McGonagall asked Dumbledore about it I just see him saying, "Trust 
me, Minerva, its been taken care of." with a twinkle in his eyes.
