Sawsan here:
Perhaps there is something about cats that is similar to McGonagall as
well. I am not sure. I was just playing around with these posts,
though I believe that there is something particular about the
wizard/witch that decides what animal they would change into. The only
similarity I see about McGonagall and cats is that she seems to have 9
lives as well when I think about how she was struck in the heart by 4
stunners and came back to school barely limping. I don't understand
that one as well, but I don't think its about preference. If that were
so then I would expect Peter to have turned into something larger than
a rat, considering his friends were all large animals. If anything, I
would think McGonagall should turn into an owl, as they are symbols of
being wise, and are very important to the series.
