Sirius Black: Dog
Sirius Black was able to turn into a black dog. He used his unregistered form to escape from Azkaban prison. Before that, he used his form to help control Remus Lupin when he turned into a werewolf. As a large black dog, he was able to safely accompany Remus, along with James Potter and Peter Pettigrew.

Professor McGonagall was able to turn into a silver tabby cat. A cat is also what her Patronus takes the form of. McGonagall was one of the few people who has their form registered with the Ministry of Magic.
