Might Dumbledore hinmself be an *unregistered* Animagus...?

She looked up the names from this century. 

We know from one of jkr's interviews that Dumbledore is 150 years old - whether that's his age as of book 1 or book 4 is unknown. 

But that certainly means that he could've been registered in the previous century, and thus not on the list Hermione saw.
