I have a theroy.

I think a patronus with a form is diffrent than a coporal patronus.  That's 
number one.

I think a Corporal patronus is one that can touch things, seems solid or near 
enough, while one with a form can only hurt dementors and lethifolds.

Further more I watched a few clips from this japanese show.  They play some 
american song and then the japanese people, who don't know english, have to do 
a skit about what they think the song is about.

Needless to say there were some weird things.  I heard the "bear nessecities" 
(I think that's the song) and the Japanese people heard something about 
pissing or urinals judging by the skit they put on.

Now, once the guy who was showing us this told us what the japanese people 
thought they heard I was able to hear that as well.

The same principal, whatever it is called, I think, applies to the patronus 
on the quidditch feild.  To someone who knows it's supposed to be a stag they 
see the stag clearly at that, to most other people they miss it, espcially 
considering how fast it was moving.
