Snow:

So, who were the other possible, I think seven, registered animagus?
I've heard all types of theories on who could be an animagus but we 
know that McGonagall is one of; I think eight, registered animagus 
this century, then who are the other seven? 
Has anyone thought about whom these registered, with the Ministry, 
animagus are? Could they possibly be important, or is it just a throw 
away line? I truthfully never thought about this myself and just 
wandered since the subject came up if anyone else thought about whom 
they might be (remember they are from the last century)?
