JKR has stated in several interviews, that whatever "posessions" they 
(animagi) have on their person, are retained when they transform.  I 
think it is a bit odd that an animagus' clothing turns into its fur, 
feathers, scales, etc. but yet from what I have seen, transforming 
Lupin the werewolf's clothing tears.  I am going by the action figure 
type toys I have seen from the PoA film.

Lynnette, who thinks Snape IS a good guy, even if he is NOT a nice
guy!
