Potioncat:
I was wondering, back when I read JKR's answer about Snape's 
Patronus and Boggart, whether she meant that to tell us would give 
too much away about Snape or whether we would actually see them in 
later books. And while she's said we'll get everything we need in 
the next two books, I doubt we'll get everything we want.

My vote would be DD for Snape's Patronus (giant bumblebee as I doubt 
it could be a lemondrop :-)  But I don't think it would be James for 
the Boggart.  It could be a Werewolf or it could relate to being a 
DE.

I wonder if Black's Patronus would have been a stag for James or 
something to represent James' father.  His Boggart might have been a 
Dementor.

And I'll bet Peter cannot conjure a Patronus because I'm not sure he 
feels he has a Patron.
