Hi:

<<<Being an Animagus means that you can transform into another animal "at
will." For instance, at the end of GoF, Dumbledore tells Sirius to change
back into a man, and he does so instantly, without having to use a
wand or a potion or anything. From what we've seen, all Animagi have
this abilitiy.

I'd imagine that Transfiguration requires a more complicated spell --
i.e. using a wand and magic words. Also, I'm guessing a counter-spell
is needed to return the person/animal into their original form, whereas
Animagi can do it at will and instantly.>>>

I really really liked this explanation -- it makes perfect sense. Thanks
JoAnna!!!
