in POA when Herm. is telling them all in the shrieking shack that
Lupin is a wolf she mentions his Patronus representing an orbish
figure.. hinting that its a moon. so there you have it.. his Patronus
is a moon.

Sorry, Maren, but you should have done your homework before posting.
In addition, let's remember that a Boggart form is something you fear,
whereas a Petronus is something that protects and defends you.

---- Quote - Am Ed PB pg 346 ---
Lupin speaks to Hermione-

"... Did you check the lunar chart and realize that I was always ill
at the full moon? Or did you realize that the BOGGART changed into the
MOON when it saw me?"

Does anyone have an edition that says something different?

I think it would be very difficult to guess anyone's Patronus even
with deep insight into that person. 

As far as a 'cloud' being Lupin's Patronus, so far all Patronus form
have been animal. That doesn't preclude it being true, but certainly
stacks the odds against it. 

As a side note; I don't think that a person's animagus for and their
Patronus are necessarily the same. That doesn't mean they are never
the same, I just think it is the rarer case.

For what it's worth.
