we don't know anything about that process except that its very
complicated. It is very different than a patronus form, however,
because a patronus reflects something that a witch/wizard finds
comforting or warm, and a animagus form reflects the witch/wizard
themself... Sirius is a dog, which must be because of
his loyalty and bravery, perhaps some sort of territoriality that he
has...<snip>


Forgive the snipping. I believe Sirius' animagus form is JKR's death 
clue, and it would have been a huge hint if we had been paying 
attention, LOL. 

The "grim" - a spectral black dog - is a portent of death in British 
folklore, everyone knows.  In Yorkshire the dog is known as The 
Padfoot.  

IMHO, the moment she introduces us to animagus Sirius Black aka The 
Padfoot (who is in Every Way the black dog - from his animagis form 
to his given name, and we could even speculate about his 
nickname "snuffles" which means "to blubber or sniffle while crying") 
she's dropping huge hints that he's going to die. *snuffle, sniff, 
blubber*
After all, SHE knew full well she'd kill him off after three books, 
even if we didn't catch all her "death clues."
