Rita's an animagus too.  She wasn't changed against her will, although 
she is being kept in that form against her will as long as Hermione 
keeps the Unbreakable Charm on the jar.

Draco, however, is an example of someone being changed against his 
will . . . unless he has a secret desire to become a ferret.  Anyhoo, 
what were your thoughts on the difference between willing and 
unwilling transfigurations?
