Yes- I am well aware that McGonagall is Scottish.  I just tend to 
lean towards the sarcastic.  McGonagall is actually a clan with their 
own tartan.

I am in the camp that doubts McGonagall is evil.  There just aren't 
enough indications of that for me, and far too many indications of 
her loyalty to Albus.  I do think there is a lot more to Minerva 
McGonagall's story, and I hope we find out about that in book 6.  
There are definitely some secrets in her past, but I do not believe 
that any of those secrets are that she is a death eater, or that she 
is evil, or anything like that.  

I am more inclined to believe that she is perhaps the missing 
Godmother for Harry.  But I do not believe she is a blood relative.  
Just someone who was very trusted by Harry and Lily, and is therefore 
interested in keeping Harry safe, and was upset about the fact that 
he would spend his childhood in such a horrible place.
