You really put a good perspective on things!  In PoA,
I often thought the same thing, except, I was thinking
he was a bad character until we found out about
Wormtail.
 Crookshanks is stated as being a highly intelligent
cat.  And, as we see from the other descriptions of
the animagi, they all seemed to have similar
characteristics of not acting like a normal animal. 
Crookshanks is often described as having an almost
human personality and responds to human's talking
(i.e. he knew the rat was in Ron's bag after Ron said
it)

When Hermione first goes to buy Crookshanks, the owner
says that he has been there for a while.  Why would
such a lovely cat be there for so long???...unless he
(if it is a real person or Mudungus) didn't want to be
bought until the right opportunity.  Also, he wanted
to attack Scabbers in the shop, LONG BEFORE he met
Sirius.  So, maybe he somehow knew before that
Wormtail was an animagi. 

It will be interesting to see in the next few books if
Crookshanks really IS an animagi.

But now I start to wonder, we have already seen 4
unregistered animagi, and Crookshanks would be #5. 
This starts to get me wondering, How many MORE
unregistered animagi are there in the WW?
