Actually, this sentence does NOT speak of Animagi, but of witches or 
wizards who are transfigured.  (So Malfoy would have had the brain of 
a Ferret when transfigured by Moody/Crouch).  The previous sentence 
is the one that speaks of Animagi, it states "Those few  animagi who 
transform into winged creatures may enjoy flight, but they are a 
rarity."  Sirius when a dog maintains his own mind - although his 
emotions do become more dog-like.
