Sarah: 
Hmm, if Sirius is dog-like in his human state (very good analogy), 
what does that make Minerva McGonagall?  Is she cat-like in her 
behavior as a human?  Glaring at anything that dares to bother her.  
Ignoring annoying things until the annoyance is too bothersome and 
swatting them away.  Looks all prim and proper at times, but gets 
frisky at times and leers/swats at perceived annoyances.  Yowls and 
hisses when irritated or frightened.  Walks around as if she owns 
the place.  Hm, this seems to explain her behavior with Umbridge: 
she ignores, then "swats at", the helps Peeves in his mischief.  (I 
loved the muttering "it turns the other way" to Peeves while he was 
trying to unscrew a light fixture.)  Amused at the twins pranks that 
makes Umbridge's life miserable as head mistress.   Hmm, this 
analogy might work.  I wonder if Minerva sleeps in odd places in 
contorted positions during all hours of the day.  

Sarah, who is only half-way joking about this.
