In meeting Tonks we see that she can change hair colors, styles and 
facial features just by screwing up her face and concentrating. She 
says she is a "metamorhamagus" which is very rare. 

Did anyone else think of Harry growing out his hair after the awful 
haircut he got when he was little? 

I had always thought that this hair-growing was a sign 
that he had animagus potential but I think it may be an
indicator might be at least patially skilled as a metamorphamagus.

We know from some chat that JKR answered a question like "Will Harry 
be an animagus like his father?" with something like "No, he will not 
be an animagus like James." Key part--"like James" which at most 
means he would not become a stag animagus. I took this to mean he 
could be an animagus-- just a different form and I always held to the 
idea he would indeed follow this path because of the foreshadowing 
tale of his growing out that awful haircut. Now, I suppose, that 
foreshadowing may only just be related to metamorhamagus and not an 
animagus. 

Any thoughts???
