Heya Cassie,
I don't have the texts in front of me right now, and I don't remember 
her mentioning any names at all that were on that list.  There are 
many times within the cannon that things are left unsaid, and/or 
interrupted.  This is one of those things.
Dumbledore was a transfiguration teacher before he became headmaster 
of Hogwarts.  If MacGonnigal is an animagus (kitty), would it not 
follow that Dumbledore is one as well (especially because his name 
comes from the Old English word Bumblebee).  
There is no proof that Snape was or was not on that list.  We don't 
even know if MacGonnigal is on it!
