Lupin's Patronus

Hi Everyone,

My first time responding. I was just thinking about the discussion on Lupin's patronus (I just finished my third read of PoA two nights ago so my thoughts on it are still pretty fresh) and I think I have a pretty good idea what it is. First of all, Lupin's boggart turns into a full moon, and later on his patronus is described, as Kristin noted previously:

>The only mention about Lupin's 
>patronus is on pg.85 of PoA:

>"And Professor Lupin stepped over you, and walked toward the 
>dementor, and pulled out his wand," said Hermione,"and he said, 'None 
>of us is hiding Sirius Black under our cloaks. Go.' But the dementor 
>didn't move, so Lupin muttered something, and a silvery thing shot 
>out of his wand at it, and it turned around and sort of glided 
>away..."

So therefore, as a result of his patronus being silvery and gliding away, my best assumption, or guess, is that his patronus is a bunch of clouds. It makes sense. The clouds seem to be his only protection from the full moon and therefore are a very good thing (or happy thought) for him!

What do you think?

Megan
