Pat's two knuts:

1.  I don't think that Mrs. Norris is an Animagi.  Perhaps transfigured 
and as stuck as a cat-- like the Qunitaped in FBAWTFT.  Something is 
weird about that cat, no doubt, but I don't think she's an animagi.

2.  Nope.  Not an animagi.  Half cat, half Kneazle.  Again, see FBAWTFT. 
In the description of the Kneazle, it also mentions that it can "be 
relied upon to guide its owner safely home if they are lost."  I see 
Crookshanks leading them out of trouble somewhere.  

3.  Gads, I hope not.  One pet as Animagi per story, please.

4.  Wouldn't surprise me, but I think he would register, and surely 
Hermione would have mentioned it.  The bumblebee thing is possible, but 
we have one unregistered animagi as a bug already.  One is enough, please.

5.  Possible, I suppose.  

As you can guess, I'm REALLY hoping we don't get anymore "unregistered 
animagi" in the stories.  I think she's done that to death.
