I wonder though, given that James and Sirius were going for maximum 
humiliation, wouldn't they have immediatiately come up with some way 
to taunt Snape about having only underpants on under his robe if that 
were in any way unusual?  The only gibe that came his way about his 
underpants was from Lily and it was more a matter of their 
cleanliness rather than their being an inadequate amount of clothing 
under his robes.

About Tonk's tee-shirt and jeans; her clothing style wasn't mentioned 
the first time Harry met her, when she appeared with a group of other 
wizarding folk.  *I* envisioned the whole crew in robes, poking about 
the Dursleys' kitchen, if only because of the Muggle-Wizard contrast.

She was dressed in tweeds when she was undercover as an elderly woman 
when they were catching the Knight Bus, and I had the impression that 
she - and all the other folks meeting Harry at King's Cross - was 
dressed in sorta-kinda Muggle styled clothing, again undercover, to 
blend in at the train station.  Which she did admirably, hair style 
and all.
