Betsy Hp:
I've always assumed, with the introduction of Rita Skeeter that only 
a few dozen wizards in a century *registered* that they were 
animagus.

Not that it doesn't show a certain amount of talent to become 
animagus, especially at age fifteen.  (And let's not forget that 
Peter became an animagus as well.)

Betsy Hp:
Are you talking about the Pensieve memory?  Because if James hadn't 
ambushed Snape, and had the backup of Sirius, I have a feeling sweat 
would have been the least of James's worries.

That's the only documented confrontation *I* remember anyway.  Were 
you refering to another one?
