Rachel:
If I am correct, in G.O.F Hermione tells Ron and Harry that there are 
only a few registered Animagi. The only registered Animagi that I can 
think of is McGonagoll. 
J.Potter, Black, Pettigrew and Skeeter are illegal ones. So the other 
day I asked myself...who are the other registered animagi? Surely 
these will be discussed in the next books. I have a weird feeling 
that Crookshanks or Mrs Norris maybe one of these. I feel it is 
strange that a cat befriended a large black dog without some sort of 
reason, and the fact that Crookshanks always seemed to know where 
scabbers was, for example in POA when Ron says that scabbers is in 
his pocket and then immediately, Crookshanks pounces. 
Mrs Norris, is clearly the only 'thing' that can stand to be in Mr 
Filch's presence so perhaps she is really a witch? His mistress?

Me:
I firmly believe that there's something about Mrs. Norris that we don't know about, perhaps a transfiguration unable to be reversed or something of the sort.

Crookshanks, however, has been totally scratched off the animagi possibility list for me. Mainly because JKR has said that he is, in fact, part Kneazle, which is the explanation for his intelligence.

Lizo: ...I was particularly interested in the bit about the Kneazle, is Crookshanks possibly... uh, have any Kneazle...?

JKR: Yes, part-Kneazle yes, he is, yes, well-spotted.
