Carol:
I think Hedwig *is* just an owl--but owls (even the dithering little
Pigwidgeon and poor Errol who slams into the Dursley's closed window
in OoP) know how to find the recipient of their letters even if the
sender doesn't tell them where to go. They're clearly magical
creatures--as cats are. As for Madam Hooch, we don't see much of
her--she doesn't seem particularly intelligent or even vigilant--she
falls asleep watching the quidditch practice in PoA (IIRC).

And if she were an animagus (animaga?), both Crookshanks and the
sneakoscope would have sensed it.

Carol, who thinks Hedwig would ruffle her feathers and nip your
fingers if she heard you refer to her or any other owl as "just an owl"!
