Potioncat:
I think all the patronae (um?) we've seen have been animals.  Is 
that correct?  I don't know if we've been told anything.  I'm 
assuming a Patronus is like a Patron, and the animal symbolizes that 
father-like/family-like relationship. IIRC, Hermione's is an otter 
and I'm wondering if that reflects the Weasleys?  I'm also assuming, 
having once conjured one, it stays constant.  I would assume a 
Boggart would change as the individual changed.

My thoughts, at any rate.
