Magpie:
I'd do it in a second. Seriously, maybe this is why I have no trouble 
with that particular interview canon. I have no trouble believing 
MWPP went forward for years without any idea or control about their 
animal forms. The unknown could have just made it all the more 
intriguing. It seems like as long as you're okay with yourself to a 
normal degree you'd likely like your animal form, and I really can't 
think of any animal form I'd never want to change into once I found 
it.

Yeah, I if I was a wizard I'd totally be becoming an Animagus as soon 
as I could. I'm more surprised everybody doesn't want to do it.

Magpie:
Heh. Oops! I am very fond of James (flawed guy he was and I think 
would have been regardless) so you can take that as a compliment from 
me!
