Hermione's patronus is an otter. Otters are from the Order: Carnivora
and the Family: Mustelidae. They are related to WEASELS. This may 
hold some clues/foreshadowing for shipping as well (WEASley...) 
Their are different types of otters, so it is impossible to know 
which kind JKR had in mind for Hermione's patronus. But I found some 
interesting things on animal plantet's website...
- the Brazilian giant otter is at the top of the food chain in it's 
environment (the rainforest)
- the giant otter sometimes preys on snakes and is capable of killing 
an anaconda (If Hermione's patronus ever turns out to be an amimagus 
form for her, this could come in handy while fighting Slytherins??)
- otters mate for life
- otters have been hunted for their thick brown coats that repel water
 
I am still not sure if there are any myths or legends surrounding the 
otter, but if anyone can find any - please post! 
 
 Me -

While I am normally amongst the first to analyze every word in the books. I
think in this case there's nothing more to it than JKR likes otters.
Hermione is the character JKR associates herself with. end of story.

Oh and I can't see Hermione becoming an animagus. It took James and co
several years to master the magic and although I know she's bright I can't
see her managing it in the two we have left.
