I was rereading OoP recently, and noticed something that struck me as 
a little bit odd.  During the last DA meeting, (US Edition, pages 606-
607), they are working on producing Patronuses.  They mention Cho's 
swan, Hermione's otter, and she even mentions Lavender, Neville and 
Seamus.  But no Ron, whether he was having trouble or had done it 
successfully, nothing.  It seemed odd to me because usually when JKR 
gets into describing how students are handling difficult bits of  
magic, she at leasts describes Harry, Ron and Hermione's efforts.
Anyone have any thoughts as to why he might have been left entirely 
out of this scene? Am I making something out of nothing?


vmonte responds:

You are not making something out of nothing.  There is a reason why 
JKR left this bit out.  JKR once said that she could not tell a fan 
what Snape's patronus was because it would give too much away. I bet 
Ron's patronus would also...
My theory (and it's not popular) is that Ron is Dumbledore and that 
they both have the same patronus.
