    Hmmmm....  have we seen anyone else make an incomplete transformation into an animal?  Hermione, of course. When she, Ron, and Harry take the polyjuice potion (PoA... I think), she accidentally mistakes cat hair for human, and turns into a pseudo-feline monstrocity (to the delight of one Moaning Myrtle)!
    Calm down, shippers,  I don't necessarily think this is any evidence for a future Krum/Hermione ship, but who knows. The first thing that did pop into my head when I read this was the obvious comparisons which have been made to Hermione and McGonnagal (a cat animagi!).  
    Their facial expressions, strict sense of conformity to the rules (at least the important ones, and when they don't get in the way of saving the world from LV), and overall intelligence constantly pair, in the eyes of the narrator, the two.  Evidence for an animagus Hermione, who is, after all, the smartest witch in her class (if not the school)? Or, maybe, its just a new hint towards generational parallels?  Or, maybe the shippers will get what they want, a lurid and incredibly passionate trist between two quasi-animagi.
