I think someone else pointed out earlier that the difference is that Wormtail 
and McGonagall are animagi, whereas Moody/Crouch merely transfigures Draco 
into a ferret. Perhaps different rules apply; transfiguring and animagus 
transformations.
However, there has been discussion about the POA movie and the fact that they 
show Wormtail turning into a rat and leaving his clothes behind, yet when 
Sirius changes back into a dog, his clothes aren't left behind, etc. 
I just reason it in my own mind that perhaps it's up to the animagi when he 
or she changes whether or not to leave the clothes ;-) However, I know that's 
not really a good explanation - I think the movie folks just decided that it 
would look cool for Wormtail's clothes to be left behind. Sort of a cinematic 
decision, regardless of how contradictory it is for the actual plot ;-)
