Seeing as how I haven't got the book in front of me, I'm not sure but 
doesn't Dumbledore just say that they could save more than one life.  
He may have known that Harry needed to be at the lake to send the 
patronus, but in true Dumbledore style, wanted to give Harry a chance 
to figure it out for himself.  IMHO Buckbeak was just a useful way of 
getting Harry and Hermione to go back far enough.

Anyway, I could be wrong...I'm new to this.
