Going by what JKR has written so far, if Professor Dumbledore WAS an
animagus, he would be a bumblebee, IMO. Sirius was a dog, Skeeter
was a bug, Lupin was a werewolf (I realize this is NOT an animaus
form, but still... lupin/wolf?)... Minerva McGonagall, a cat.. not
sure what the cat connection is here. Peter Pettigrew the rat, not
in the name but he behaved like a rat... he ratted out his friends
to Voldemort. Basically it seems there is a clue in the name or the
behavior, no?
Lynnette, who thinks Snape IS a good guy, even if he is NOT a nice
guy!
