that is true but wouldn't he be curious to see if he could become an one? it would also be very useful for his spy work. it has forced him to do very unpleasant things before so maybe becoming an animagus would be one more deeply uncomfortable thing he has to do for the greater good.
Red fox, I can't see it as anything else.
I'd never considered that before, but ever since you've said this I keep picturing it in my mind's eye.
It just seems very fitting. It's a common animal in the UK, associated with being sly and secretive, is loved by some but reviled by others, and is very cat-like while being a member of the canine family.
It just seems to suit.
Porcupine! I saw it in a story and thought it was cool and original. Personally I'd probably have picked something like a crow, spider or bat, which isn't very original, I guess.
I remember giving this reason before, but I think a spider would work because a. he gets associated with spiders a few times (bats too, of course), like his walk as a teenager, his writing etc; b. spiders perform a valuable service even though they're creepy and unpleasant; and c. it would help him do ~spy things~ maybe?
i think mongoose would be his animagus form
I always saw him as a black vulture - a creature that many find unpleasant but without which the world would be much, much worse off!
