Or people might be missing the whole point that you do NOT have 
to be an animagus to change to animal form.  An Animagus is when 
the person can change to a specific form AT WILL, without using 
a potion or a wand..  Meaning they must be registered because 
taking their wand away doesn't stop them from changing, unless 
you actually think that Sirius had a wand in Azkaban??  Meaning 
that if they commit a crime, they would need a special cell or 
magic(s) to keep them from escaping.  Animagi only need to be registered BECAUSE they don't need a wand or potion to change 
like everyone else does.  Dumbledore doesn't even need to be one 
and I see no evidence that he is or isn't.  He also knows magic 
that Harry would not even know about, has many magical devices in 
his office for which Harry hasn't a clue what they do and certainly has means of knowing what's going on without resorting to turning into an animal.  I would more believe him to have seer powers than think he can turn into a gerbil or a wombat at will....  No, I 
don't think he is one or has any reason to be one.  He has plenty 
of tricks up his sleeve that we have not witnessed yet without being 'another unregistered/registered' Animagi....
