| Nov 8, 2016 at 18:17 | comment | added | user68762 | @Dumbledorality well, humenum revelio is an area spell, which is much more friendly than the one to reveal animagi - for that one you have to target every rat or ant in the house, so yours still a good point. | |
| Nov 8, 2016 at 18:14 | comment | added | Dumbledorality | @R.Skeeter I completely forgot about that! In that case I guess the ability to detect that form of concealment doesn't have an impact on why it is illegal. | |
| Nov 8, 2016 at 17:37 | comment | added | b_jonas | @Dumbledorality: yes, but that's a separate question. In Chamber of Secrets, Professor Lupin and Sirius use magic to force Peter Pettigrew to turn back to his original form, and even say something like "if it's really a rat, it won't hurt him". | |

| Nov 8, 2016 at 15:19 | comment | added | Dumbledorality | Is there a way to detect if an animal is actually an animagus? I ask because those other methods you named aren't foolproof. People under invisibility cloaks and disillusionment charms can be detected through Homenum Revelio I think. With polyjuice potion you can ask questions to see if the person is fake. But I don't know a way to detect if an animal is actually an animagus, unless you recognize the person's "distinctive markings or disabilities" being in animal form as ibid said in the answer. That may be why it was made illegal. | |
