Animagous Hogwarts Headcanons
Instead of making kids feel like it’s something to hide, there is an introductory and advanced animagous class that first teaches you about, but then helps you become an animagous
(Then of course the students who do transform get registered and I personally think that’s a good thing because then stuff like… you know… are less likely to happen)
Lgbt+ kids are encouraged to learn, especially nonbinary kids because then perhaps it can be another safe place
Hufflepuffs are the best at transforming and host study groups to help others
Ravenclaws and Gryffindors tend to be the slowest at learning because a) Ravenclaws that are too literal can’t find the right head space and b) Gryffindors that are too brash or over-confident tend to face the same problem
Slytherins are the second best at transforming
Inner traits obviously play a large part in your Animagous form and Patronus form
Not that it’s always bad- but when you have a different animal for Animagous and Patronus then teachers become very aware, because sometimes that’s a sign of a mental disorder that should be addressed, on the other hand, that’s also a sign of a very energetic and strong wand carrier (a gender neutral term for wizard/witch/etc.)
So overall learning more about animagouses and such is very useful and popular at Hogwarts
