what did james potter trasform into as an animagus?

Question

and can you become an animagus or do you have to be born one

Answer 1

Becoming an Animagus is extremely difficult, and the transformation can go horribly wrong. Animagi can assume only one animal form, and that form is not chosen by them. Rather, it reflects a witch or wizard's inner nature.
While in animal form, Animagi retain all sensory perception and cognition; however, their mental capabilities and feelings are lessened when transformed, becoming more like the animal [2]. Thus, an animagus when transformed becomes the animal whose form is taken, but with the added advantage of retaining some human qualities. All Animagi are required to register themselves with the Ministry of Magic. Another wizard or witch can use his/her wand to force an Animagus to transform back to human form, producing a flash of blue-white light in the process. [HP3] This may be the Homorphus Charm mentioned by Gilderoy Lockhart in book 2, by which he turns the Wagga Wagga Werewolf back into its human form. Werewolves such as Lupin, however, are not in fact Animagi and their change into and out of their Werewolf form is involuntarily controlled by the full moon.
