Yeah, I agree with the Patroni- (since it comes from latin) animal 
thing.  And earlier, I doubt very much that JKR would have two 
people with the same Patronus form (excluding direct relatives, 
i.e. James/Harry).  And, I have wondered this since I first read it, 
how is an OTTER going to save you from a dementor?  One, 
yeah, if you conjure it in the right direction, but if Hermione had 
been attacked like Harry was in the beginning of OotP, Dudley 
would be soulless.  Either that, or otter's have some ability that i 
am unaware of....

Also, I would like to point out that otter's usually slap their tails on 
the surface of the water when danger is around, alerting others, 
so they can all get away (dive) until the danger has passed.  Is 
Hermione's otter gonna give some warning, or alert the others at 
an oppurtune time in the future?
