Patronus shape in FB

If I may add my own 2 Knuts to this debate. 

First, Dumbledore only referes to Harry's patronus as seeming "unusual" after 
he already knows the whole. We do not know *for certain* that he considerd 
the shape unusual when Harry first conjured it in the Ravenclaw match. 

And if he did it may have been because he had no context in which to place 
it. When, he might have wondered, did Harry Potter develop an association of 
Happiness with a *stag*? Is there a stage in the woods near the Dursley 
House?

Remus Lupin would very likely have told the Headmaster that he was coaching 
the boy on the Patronus Charm, since it is such advanced magic. But it wasn't 
until Sirius Black was captured that Dumbledor learned about the three 
Animagi and put it all together.
