I haven't seen that interview, but we could all go to the Goat Pen 
(Mike Gray's interview site) to look for it.

I only have trouble with the "previous century" thing because it 
really seems like such a loophole.  Maybe Hermione did look at a list 
that was only those registered *this century,* but wouldn't you think 
any list of animagi would show anybody who's still living?  I don't 
like escape clauses like that, but obviously that could be the answer.

Whether DD is unregistered or not isn't important right now, except 
for how many people know it. Being able to become a bumblebee/wasp 
would be less valuable if Fudge or others knew it.
