Transformations, Clothes, etc.

Do Animagi retain their possessions when they transform? HP being a 
children's book, we can't have a naked Sirius strutting around the 
Shrieking Shack, so we know that they keep their clothes. But would 
Animagi be able to keep the items in their pockets, as well as bags? 
If so, Pettigrew should still have his wand, because he was holding 
it when he transformed 13 years ago. If clothes become part of the 
animal, then James Potter could have stuffed baby Harry into a large 
coat pocket, and then transformed. If Voldemort did not know that 
James was an Animagus, he would not have been able to recognize and 
kill him.
