Now me:
*Where/when* did JKR say that Harry would not become an animagus in 
the books?  That's news to me, although it wasn't something I 
considered a necessary plot twist.  I just figured that, at some 
point Harry might want to also become an animagus since his father 
was.  And, if that's an inherited skill (who knows?), then it might 
be easier for him to learn.

Sort of in that vein, but not necessarily, I read a post sometime in 
the last couple of weeks that James' Patronus (as well as his 
animagus form) was a stag.  But I don't recall ever reading anywhere 
in the 5 books whether James had ever produced a patronus, much less 
what it was.  Anyone have canon to confirm/deny this?

Thanks.  Shirley, who will go back and try to finish reading all the 
items posted since she left the office last night, something she's 
been trying to do off-and-on since she came in this morning....
