Now me (Sawsan)
You know, I have had a few thoughts that trailed off into a place that
I don't think JKR intended. Like, how can a Giantess "marry" a human?
Well it was done apparently without trouble in Hagrid and Olympia
Maxim's case. (How in the...) Anyway. Engorgement charms are available
I guess.
But to answer your question, perhaps it would be simpler for a male
human or animagus to mate with another creature, and that creature
might have semihuman to no human appearance, or possibly retain its
animal appearance but think like a human? I am not sure. I think would
be harder for a female to be pregnant with a semi human child. I mean
with smaller animals it might be ok, but I can't see a human woman
pregnant with a centaur or a stag or anything, but then again, magic
is available for all sorts of cases, so it could be ok. I find this
topic rather interesting. There have been stories which have cross
species pregnancies, such as "Many Waters" where one of the daughters
of Noah was pregnant with a Nephalim (who were Giants). It went into
some detail I remember, but the girl was not magic, so I am sure it
would have been easier for her if she was a witch.
Anyhow, with the types of charms and potions and such in the HP
universe, I don't doubt that it would be easy for cross species
pregnancies to happen, but I think that it would be more difficult for
Witches than wizards. ( Imagine the look on everyone's face if 19 year
old Minerva McGonagall walked into her parents house holding a bundle
in her arms, and it turned out to be a kitten. HMMM) I wonder if
Catherine the Great was a witch? Perhaps Bane or Magorian (sp?) was a
child of hers and that's why they don't like associating with humans?
Well, this is indeed a very interesting topic, and I don't think we
will be getting any answers soon from JKR about this subject.
