Sorry took so long to reply, been away for a while...
I think yourself and Jazmyn could be right...probably a transformation
that didn't quite end up as it should have, or maybe her eyes are
permenantly transformed to her advantage.  I am not sure which book,
(I have been sifting through the pages of the first two books without
any luck), but I remember Harry walking past McGonagall's class and
overheard someone being turned into a badger and having red eyes for a
while afterwards?  Describing them as hawk like, might be a clue to
her being animagus, but I am sure Rowling would have shown her as a
hawk in the books if she was (i.e McGonagall and her turning into a
cat).  It would be interesting to know the dangers of
transformation....or even the restricitons of it (like you said, maybe
there is a time limit)?
