Unregistered Animagi

I have some theroies on which of the animals are really human.

1. I have long suspected that Mrs. Norris is a Animagi. It seems very 
weird that a cat would have a name with "Mrs." as a part of it. After 
all, "Mrs." implies that there is a "Mr." somewhere. Just a thought...

2. I would be very surprised if Crookshanks does not turn out to be a 
animagi. He certainly is a very smart cat, and he sure knows his way 
around Hogwarts. The ginger hair also suggests that he may some how 
be related to either the Weasleys or the Evens (since Lily is said to 
have had ginger hair). 

3. Neville's toad, Trevor might be an animagi. I remember the 
name "Paddock" appearing in one of the books, and "Paddock" is an old 
English word for "toad". I'm not so sure on this one though, but it 
is interesting that he keeps running away from Neville, much the same 
way Scabbers ran away from Ron in book 3. Could there be someone at 
Hogwarts that Trevor is trying to avoid?

4. This may sound crazy, but I believe the great Dumbledore is an 
animagi. I read somewhere that "Dumbledore" is an old English word 
for "bumblebee". Could it be that Dumbledore can change into some 
kind of flying insect? That would explain his seeming omniscience of 
everything that goes on in the school (since no one would notice a 
small insect flying around the school). Also, Rita's last 
name, "Sketter" is a shortened form of mosquito, but Rita was a 
bettle. So maybe Dumbledore isn't a bee, but he is some kind of 
flying insect.

5. Mrs. Figg's cats. We all know that Mrs. Figg is going to be 
playing a prominant roll in future books, so I suspect that at least 
some of her cats are animagi, and she may be one herself. Maybe her 
purpose in repeatedly showing Harry her cats was so that he would 
recognize them. Perhasps Crookshanks was one of her cats at one time. 

I'm probably wrong on most of these, but who knows? Anything is 
possible in Harry Potter's world.

P.S. Saturday is so close yet so far away!
