McGonagall may have been insane to unlock the Time-Turner, but she was simply incapable of withstanding the emotional pressure Harry suddenly put her under. Doubtless it is not something she had originally intended to do, and she may well regret it horribly once she regains the capacity for rational thought.
Dumbledore spied on their conversation, though—if he’d considered the matter that serious, he ought to have stepped in and taken the Time Turner or re-locked it.
If McGonagall wouldn’t, Harry would go to Dumbledore. It’s extremly unlikely that Harry wouldn’t get his Time-Turner unlocked in the situation as Harry is willing to alienate the two but they aren’t willing to alienate Harry.

At the price of alienating Harry a good bit further, of course.
