Harry's not an Animagus.  You have to work hard to become an Animagus.
I always thought the talent for becoming an Animagus wasn't so
incredibly rare (althought you need a good bit of talent), it's mostly
that it's so much work most wizards don't bother. If the talent is
that rare, then it would be nothing short of a miracle that Lupin's
three friends all managed it.

Here's a question: if you train to be an Animagus, will the animal you
become be the same as your Patronus?

J.K. Rowling has stated in two interviews that Harry will not be an
Animagus.

As to Lily being an Animagus (animaga?), why? Because James is? (not
going there).
