Animagi (as we have noticed from Sirius's 'dog like' qualities) tend

leb:
I too think the animagus has the qualities of the animal they become 
-- just look at Peter the rat-fink rat Pettigrew for the perfect 
example.  However, when it comes to DD I'm not sure he is going to be 
an animagus.  Various posts have pegged him as the bumblebee and then 
the wasp (who I think is probably Ludo Bagman) and now a cat.  I
think that instead of being an animagus he is just transfiguring into 
whatever would be most convenient and least obtrusive at the time.  

Don't forget that DD was the transfiguration teacher and year 6 is
the year the students start learning human transfiguration.  Of
course I don't see this as too far fetched because one of my pet 
theories is Umbridge's toad-like appearance is the result of a 
transfiguration accident when she was a 6th year.  There's got to be
a reason that people who do not do well on the OWLs are not permitted
to go on to further study in the field and this could be it.
