I thought of that tartan also.  I believe that she's described a few 
times as wearing it.  But remember- she is Scottish.  And muggle or 
non-muggle the Scottish will win out, and plaid will be worn.  I've 
even read that it can cause a Scott physical pain to be able to wear 
plaid and not be able to.  ;-)

Seriously, even in the wizarding world certain nationality things 
seem to be prominant.  For instance, the Irish supporters wearing 
green.  So it wouldn't be surprising that with a last name of 
McGonagall she would wear a tartan.  (Since McGonagall is such a 
German sounding name- it should be leiderhosen?)
