While Dumbledore's abilities and connection to Fawkes (a phoenix) fuel speculation, J.K. Rowling never confirmed him as an Animagus, and it's likely he wasn't one.
A teacher who taught the skill did not need to be an Animagus themselves, as shown when Professor Dumbledore, who was not an Animagus, taught Minerva McGonagall how to successfully become one.
Ignotus Peverell mastered only one of the Hallows, but accepted the inevitability of death, which would make him an honorary Master of Death as per Albus Dumbledore's interpretation of the title's meaning. Albus Dumbledore possessed all three Hallows, but not at the same time.

For example: if Viktor Krum can transfigure his head into a shark's, like he does in Goblet of Fire, that doesn't mean he is an Animagus. Transfiguration is a form of spell-casting, whereas becoming an Animagus is forever.
A Metamorphmagus has the extraordinarily uncommon gift of being able to change their appearance at will. We famously met one in the Harry Potter series: Nymphadora Tonks, who used her shapeshifting abilities wisely in her job as an Auror.

Rowling is Albus Dumbledore, revealed to be gay and to have had a passionate, intense love relationship with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in their youth, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the books but rather in later interviews and supplementary materials.

While the specific text varies slightly by edition, it introduces the topic of werewolves as nocturnal beasts, contrasting with the Red Caps and Hinky-Punks they were learning about, to reveal Lupin's true nature.
Harry misinterprets Tonks's behavior to be about Sirius because that's how he was feeling. But Tonks was depressed because she'd been rejected by Lupin.
