seen any evidence of this in canon.

Cornflower replies: There is something in GoF about the difference 
between being anamagi and simple transforming oneself (or maybe its in 
 Mag. Creatures???), but it states that if one is transformed, the 
sense of self is lost, i.e. you become that animal totally. An anamagi 
is the animal, but also has a human soul and consciousness. I think 
that, just as the "wand chooses the wizard", the "animal chooses the 
wizard". What I mean is, it seems that wizards transform into animals 
they resemble both physically and "spritually". So I think there is 
one perfect animal for each wizard. Peter is a perfect rat, don't you 
think?

Cheers,
