I'm still thinking of a clever name to use, but so far my name's the 
best I've been able to come up with. I like ESTEL, as in LOTR for 
Hope.

SSS, love it.

Neri's, Alla's, Kneasy?

I would be either a healer, or an auror.
In the real world I'm a doctor...

My deepest desire: To be completely happy and with the boy I love

A golden labrador retriever that once bit me. Just to think of him 
gives me chills

* What happy memory will you rely upon, if you are to conjure 
up a Patronus?

A night about 8 years ago when it was snowing and there was a a moon 
eclipse, it was so beautiful.

* What form might your Patronus take?

My black labs (I have them before I *met* Sirius)

* What might your animagus form be?

I have no idea, but maybe a dolphin.
  
* What gifts would you register for in Diagon Alley?  Or would 
it be Knockturn Alley?  How about at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes?

So many things: pretty much anything from the twins, an owl, a 
broom...
  
* Times being what they are...what is your favorite flavor of 
jam?  What is your dearest ambition?

I live any red jam, but strawberry is my favorite.

My ambition, to see the entire world without hunger, without disease 
and healthy.
