We can also count Sirius taking his animagi form in Azkaban. This making 
animagi ability more special tha just changing into a rabbit. Unless 
you think the MOM is so stupid as to let him have his wand while in 
prison.. Considering they tend to BREAK wands of lawbreakers. (see 
Hagrid and the threats to break Harry's wand for examples)
