I think I see your point. If we assume that Hermione's interests and
talent lean toward transfigurations then Animagus would be the
crowning achievement in that area, and we all know Hermione likes to
achieve as high as she possibley can.

Although, I have nothing to back it up, in fact, I believe JKR in an
interview said something about the Trio not becoming animagus, but I
don't remember the full scope of that statement, I think it would be
very advantageous to the trio and especially to Harry to become
animagus. It gives you an extra weapon in your magical arsenal, and a
very strong element of stealth both for getting into and getting away
from places.

I think this ability would be a great and possibly life saving magical
resource for all of them.

Just a thought.
