Hey Taryn, didn't know you were on this list!

OK, well, Crookshanks is part kneazle, but the question still remains if he 
is an animagus.  Truly, what is the likelihood of him being a cross-gender 
anigamus?  For all we know, those things don't even exist.  If a person's animagus 
is indeed what kind of animal they resemble (Did I read that somewhere on a 
JKR chat/interview?  Anyone know if it was ever confirmed?) it seems kind of 
unlikely they would become the opposite sex, even in animal form.  That's just 
whacky for a children's book...it would confuse little kids...hehe. Even if 
Crookshanks is part kneazle, does this rule out the possibility of him being an 
animagus?  Wizard animagi can probably not only be confined to muggle 
animals...what about wizard animals.  I sure would like to see a witch or wizard 
transform into a dragon...how about Charlie Weasley!  That would be a good time!
