Magpie:
Did we see her Patronus in DH? Obviously I totally forgot that! 
Disregard my earlier post distinguishing between her Patronus and 
Animagus form--McGonagall seems to have the same for both. Maybe being 
a cat is a happy memory for her and that's why it's her Patronus.

But I stand by the Umbridge one. Her animagus form would never be a 
cat, but it's obvious why that's her Patronus.
