| | Minerva McGonagall - definition of Minerva McGonagall in Encyclopedia |
 | | We are first introduced to Minerva McGonagall in the opening chapter of the Philosopher's Stone, The Boy Who Lived, when she meets Albus Dumbledore at Number four Privet Drive. | | | Her name derives from two sources: one is from Minerva, the Roman Goddess of Wisdom (so this name suits Minerva very well). | | | She warns Harry not to provoke Dolores Umbridge, as she works for the Ministry of Magic. |

| | Perhaps J.K. Rowling merely includes McGonagall as an animagus to provide a fantastical element to the story, particularly in the first chapter of PS/SS, where the wizarding world is first introduced. | | | Now, in each of Trelawney's, Snape's, and McGonagall's inspections, Umbridge asks each of them how long they have been teaching at Hogwarts. | | | Again, J.K. Rowling appears to make the point of making sure readers understand that McGonagall started teaching in December. |

| | William Topaz McGonagall (see) a nineteenth century Scottish poet who even in his own day was recognized as truly awful. | | | We'll discuss wizard sweets in more detail when we get to chapter six. | | | As we are to learn in Harry's third year, McGonagall has very little patience with Divination, so even if she had known of the prophecy she might have scoffed, but I would expect the exchange here to have played out with a different subtext of hints if she'd been aware of the prophecy at all. |
