 I would think McGonagall should turn into an owl, as they are 
symbols of being wise, and are very important to the series.

Frost:
  The cat always made sense to me, but then again, I am partial to 
them.=^_^= I think the animal is based more off of charicter traits 
associated with the animal.  Cats tend to be quiet (excepting for 
when in heat) watchers, aloof, and somewhat mysterious.  And not to 
mention, reserved. And they have claws when they want to, and pads 
when they don't.  (Ah, the glory of extendable claws.)   
  McGonagall tends to watch things, and acts when she feels is 
appropriate.  She is defiantly aloof, and very much reserved.  And 
man, does she have claws!  (Take that you little toad!) She is fast, 
sleek and cunning, when she wants/ needs to be.

I don't know if she looks cat-like, or if her name  matches, but she 
seems to fit to a cat in an all around character profile.
