He wouldn't have to be unregistered to be an animagus.  The list 
Hermione looked at was only for the hundred years preceding POA.  
Since Dumbledore is 150 years old, he could have become an animagus 
before that and be perfectly legal.  :)  

Also, if the incredibly intriguing Ron-is-Dumbledore theory is true, 
Dumbledore may not have become an animagus yet in the weird time 
pretzel that would create!  And since I don't know if I'll get 
another chance to post on it today, the "Aberforth" quote could be 
Ron -- talking about Percy.  I'd love the irony and mischieviousness 
in that!
