And now for the canon!

Quotes by and about McGonagall (books 1-5)

McGonagall is currently Headmistress of Hogwarts (HBP29). While Dumbldedore was alive, she was Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts and one of Dumbledore's staunchest supporters.

She is a stern, strict witch with little patience for those who do not follow the rules. She is not afraid to punish students of her own house.

McGonagall is an Animagus who can turn into a tabby cat at will. When a cat, she has markings around her eyes similar to the square glasses she wears (PS1).

She teaches Transfiguration classes at Hogwarts. She considers other forms of magic to be somewhat less elegant and more simplistic than Transfiguration. She is famous for giving vast amounts of homework (PS8).

McGonagall and Hermione seem to have a lot in common, a certain strictness about rules for one thing. Both have been described as being particularly clever.

She occasionally shows her softer side. When Harry and Ron told her that they were going to the infirmary to visit Hermione, who had been Petrified, she gave them permission with a tear in her eye (CS16). She cried when she learned that Lily and James Potter had been killed (PS1). She felt bad about treating Peter Pettigrew sternly when she thought that he'd died to capture Sirius Black (PA10).

She disapproves of "letting her hair down," although she did wear a top hat at the Christmas party of 1991 and even giggled and blushed when a rather tipsy Hagrid kissed her on the cheek (PS12). At the Yule Ball of 1994, she wore dress robes of red tartan and arranged a rather ugly wreath of thistles around the brim of her hat. She danced with Ludo Bagman (GF23).

McGonagall is quite a Quidditch fan. She is an enthusiastic supporter of her house team.
