I don't have any ideas as to what Snape's patronus would be, but I 
have considered his Boggart. I think it's possible his Boggart could 
be himself, but perhaps his younger self when he was a DE. Or maybe 
his dad, and since Harry saw (what I presume to be) Snape's father in 
the pensieve, it would be interesting to have Harry understand who it 
was when other people witness to it were clueless.


Alla:

Oh, I love this one too. If Snape's Boggart is himself, then he is 
really much more guilt ridden and emotionally messed up than I was 
willing to consider.

That would also mean that he had done some really, really bad things 
in his past.
