It's not the first time there's been a wasp hanging around.  Why 
would JKR call attention to it?  Dumbledore is Old English for a 
wasp, anyway.  I'd say the odds DD is an animagus are better than 50-
50.  He'd be an unregistered Animagus, though, or Hermione would 
know. (maybe she does)  

Someone here once said it would be funny if, with all the 
*un*registered animagi around, McGonagall was one of the few animagi 
straitlaced enough to actually register.

I always thought that the ability to become an animagus isn't that 
rare; it's just so much work to learn not many witches or wizards 
take the trouble.
