Historically swans are a symbol of hypocrisy, as they have white 
feathers, so they appear "pure", but they have black flesh. Cho's 
swan patronus may very well be an indication that her pretty exterior 
masks a darker interior.  

The fact that she felt the betrayal of the DA by her friend was 
insignificant certainly indicates a lack of a true appreciation of 
the seriousness of fighting Voldemort. She wants to appear to be 
doing the right thing (fighting Voldemort), but is not truly devoted 
to it. Future traitor to the Order?
