Mike:

I have a question. If you take Polyjuice with the hair of a 
Metamorphmagus, what do you look like when you transform? Do you 
look like the person the Metamorphmagus was impersonating at the 
time you took her hair, or do you look like her true self when she 
hasn't transformed anything? Or, possibly, does a metamorphmagus 
have an inherant resistance to anybody transforming into themselves. 
As in, you can't transform into a transformer. (Reminds me of the 
toys my kids played with when they were young <g>) And what is the 
true state of someone who can change themself at will?
