Which doesn't rule out expert-level transfiguration done by a 
professional, doesn't it? A Chocolate Frog card in the Game Boy Color 
version of Philosopher's Stone said that one of the wizards featured 
was famous for having seven sons and turning them all to hedgehogs.

Of course I don't for a moment think that this actually holds true, 
but you're just so /cute/ when you think up stuff like this. As a 
bonus, once the Hogwarts gang has some experience with transifuring 
humans we can expect the hallway fights to become much more 
interesting.
