Julie: 
I think the speculation has been that Snape's *patronus* may  be a
bee. We have no information that Snape is an animagus, and if  he
is then he's yet another unregistered one. (If he was  registered, then
surely Hermoine wouldn't have left out that juicy fact when  she reported
on the registered Animagi to Harry!)

 


Whiz:
QUOTE  PoA, ch 16:
'Harry was now the only person  left to be tested.  He settled himself
on the floor with his back  against the wall, listening to a fly
buzzing in the sunny window, his mind  across the grounds with Hagrid.'

This was immediately before Trelawney  gave Harry her second prophesy.

QUOTE OotP ch 31
'It was several  seconds before it occurred to him that he had not
taken in a word of it;  there was a wasp buzzing distractingly against
one of the high windows.  Slowly, tortuously, he at last began to write
an answer.'

This was  immediately before Harry, unable to think straight, slipped
into the corridor  dream.  I'm suggesting that Snape is responsible for
both.  And  Snape gives a good explanation of the confundus charm and
it's effects at the  end of PoA.



Julie:
Er, so Snape is a metamorphmagus animagus? Along with his potions
mastery, DarkArts/DADA knowledge, superb Occlumens/Legilimens
ability, and outstanding dueling skills--really, why didn't he just take 
out Voldemort and Dumbledore a long time ago and start ruling the 
WW, as he supposedly so fervently desires? Who could stand up to
all this, really? 
 
Okay, I'm being a bit sardonic, but it seems overkill for Snape to 
be revealed as a surprise Animagus, let alone one who can morph
from insect to insect (besides, if he's an animagus, he should be
a bat!). 
 
Sometimes a fly is just a fly, and a wasp is just a wasp ;-)
