While I believe that animagi do retain their clothes and possessions when 
they transform (no cannon to prove this) I think keeping their wand in their 
pocket is very different then keeping a baby.

It brings to mind all kinds of questions.  How does Harry breathe?  My other 
concerns are this: What happens to baby Harry's consciousness?  Does he 
blend with James and if so how is James then able to transform back?  What 
about everyday sort of issues like eating, etc.  If James has to constantly 
transform and untransform to take care of baby Harry's needs it's not a very 
efficient disguise.

So I didn't answer anything just raised more questions. Sorry :)
