Andromeda:
But aren't Patronuses (Patroni?) animals?  The only ones we've seen 
have been real animals. Stag, otter, swan... any others?

And just out of curiosity, is it possible that Snape couldn't even 
conjure a Patronus, under duress?  After all, he's about as joyless 
as they come and doesn't seem to have a lot of happy memories....

Cheers,
