the glass from the snake exhibit in book 1! I guess you could call 
that an instinctive act of magic.   Has anyone else pointed this out? <<<

Greetings all,
Just recently discovered your list and I thought I would add my 2 
knuts regarding this.  The various animagi we've seen in the canon do 
not seem to use a wand to transform into their animal forms and 
definitely do not have a wand handy to transform back into their human 
form.  Although one could argue that the wand is in their virtual hand 
existing in that alternate dimension with their clothing.  If so, can 
an animagus then perform other bits of magic when in animal form?  Did 
Sirius apparate whilst in Snuggles form? or did he travel across 
Britain remaining in canine form?
