Well we already know that Wizards can create Tardis like spaces- 
Things that are much larger on the inside than they are on the 
Outside. Moody's trunk, the trunk/ boot and backseat of the Flying 
Ford Anglia, and the Tents used at the Quidditch Cup are three 
examples that pop quickly to mind.

In a world where such divergences of space and volume are 
commonplace, why can't a Wizard tuck his brain, let alone his or her 
entire human body into, say, the appendix (Or some other undrused 
organ) of their animagi form?  It's still there, and connected, the 
extra mass is just tucked away in a handy interdimensional 
(Intradimensional?) pocket. 

This would be another reason why the anamagi transformation is so 
hard- You must not only transfigure yourself, but create an 
exratadimensional pocket to hold the <rest> of you! If you fail, you 
could actualy become your animagi form, having lost the better part 
of yourself.

In any case, we cannot begin to argue with rules of Physics that are 
beyond our Muggle comprehension.
