Do you think that is enough to prove DD is an animagus?  I  mean 
aside from the fact that I would think someone would have to be  one 
to teach Transfiguration.

Transfiguration is the thing!  I tried looking through the archives  
for this, and it probably has been discussed a bit in the past (I  
wish there were a Dumbledore section for Fantastic Posts!).  Anyway,  
you're right, it would be logical for Dumbledore to be an animagus.   
And there are textual hints (snip) Dumbledore was a transfiguration 
teacher, so one would suppose he's an expert.  He *probably* is an 
animagus.  I bet Hermione would know!

Me, Del :

Huh ! I don't have my books with me, but I seem to remember that when 
she checked the Animagi, she checked only those *of the century*. So 
could it be, maybe, that DD became an Animagus *before* the last 
century (I know he's very old) so he wouldn't register on the records 
and Hermione would NOT know ? Just wondering...
