zanooda:

Why do you belive that PP needed a wand to change? He didn't have a 
wand when he turned into a rat and escaped in PoA, IIRC. When Lupin 
transformed and dropped his wand, PP took it and cursed Ron, but then 
Harry disarmed him with Expelliarmus. After this PP transformed, 
without any wand. That's how I remember it, anyway :-).
