I've read the Dumbledore is Ron theory and while I do see how it 
could be possible, I personally don't think that will happen.  
However, you make a good point if that particular theory is true 
because hiding it from us probably means she is hiding it from Harry 
also.  He probably didn't see it.  Now if Harry saw Dumbledore's 
patronus (I can't remember if he did) then of course noting that 
Ron's was the same might be more of a clue than she wants to give.  
So she could be hiding it until she is ready for Harry to notice 
Ron's patronus and that it is the same as Dumbledore's.
