That, I agree with. It irritated me no end. Not only is it inconsistent 
with what the movie shows about Animagus transformations, but it leaves 
Peter's clothes there to be discovered, providing evidence (though clearly 
not proof) that there's something to Sirius & Lupin's (and the kids') 
version of what happened.

For one thing, he did so in the book. ;-) For another, the movie goes to 
some lengths to indicate that a magical person needs their wand (I'll have 
more to say on this elsewhere). A wizard's first instinct is to make sure 
he has a wand with him, and that makes him a dangerous person. By 
implication, Wormtail is now without a wand and needs to seek a source of 
power elsewhere...
