Knowing that everyone's Patronus is different, maybe Lupin thought
that letting Harry see one would give him presupposition about what
one is supposed to look like and that *that* would throw him off.

What *is* Lupin's Patronus, I wonder?  I had this idea of it being an
image of Earth with a Saturn-like ring system, i.e. the moon has
disintegrated, liberating all werewolves forever!
