Honey (delurking):

I expect the question of what happens to the things in his pockets
when an animagus transforms has been discussed, so I apologize for
bringing it around again. I might guess that it works the same as the
werewolf transformation. In POA, Lupin puts Harry's Invisibility Cloak
into his pocket in the Shrieking Shack, and then transforms. He then
gives it to Harry the next day. The pocket contents appear to return
with the human form, along with the clothing. Scabbers was apparently
carrying a wand for all those years.

The question of the DE wands is more difficult. One might guess that
the MM would destroy the wand of someone given a life sentence in
Azkaban, and store wands of those with shorter sentences, but I know
no canon on this point.
