IIRC, it wasn't his patronus that was a moon, but the thing he was 
most scared of, which the boggart turned into was the moon.  So it is 
highly unlikely his patronus was something he feared the most.  Ditto 
with the idea that his patronus would be a wolf - he also dreads 
turning into a wolf every month.
