I have a problem with this as well.  Now that we *know* you must have a wand to apparate, surely you would also need one for the Animagus transformation that took two of the cleverest students in the school three years to learn?  Apparently, though, it is not so.

On the same line, though, it is obvious that PP had at least one wand (LV's) and possibly another (his own as well) with him when he transformed into Scabbers after the confrontation with Sirius.  Why on earth did he not at least Disarm everyone in the Shrieking Shack when he was forced, by Lupin and Sirius, to transform back into PP? As Scabbers he certainly knew what was going on and what was about to happen to him.
