A wolverine.
Vicious, effective, a loner, but not a coward.
And very definitely not something to mess with.

Good choice! I can almost see that...lol...

Now for my own two centaurs...

I went back and thought about it, and decided I really am mistaken in thinking Snape can't use a Patronus after everything everyone else has pointed out in favor of it. (Although I agree that I don't think the Death of James, or even Sirius for that matter, would count as 'happy' memories for Snape...)

So in light of that...

A friend and I are doing a sort of long, invovled fanfic thing that will probably never see the light of day (we're doing it more to entertain ourselves than anything), and it revolves around Snape and what happens after Harry and Voldie have it out.

We have him with a Vulture Patronis--symbol of ressurection, I think, with the Egyptians...(not to mention a very successful scavanger and a proud raptor in its own right. Got to learn about them and meet a few through a raptor rehab program that would do shows at the Renfaire where I worked. Very cool birds--a lot more to them than their usual unsavory reputation...).

Of course, we also have him as an animagi (hey, it's fanfic...it's okay to break the rules a little in regards to how many animagi there are...lol), and for that we chose a Raven--another symbol of night, darkness, and in some cultures ressurection (not to mention a sort of spiritual alchemy).

*shrugs*

Seemed to make sense, especially if you're trying to avoid his 'batty' stereo-typing amoungst fans ^^;

**Oh, and we're discussing his possible vamnpiric nature...we sort of figure that Wizards have sidhe bllod in them--that's where their magic abilities come from--and there is a type of Unseelie Sidhe known as the Leanshidhe (Irish), who feeds off of the dreams and spirits of the poets she inspires (as well as their blood...). So. there you go...a living decendant of a living vamp...^^;
