Actually, reading your answer, something came to my
mind. Maybe underage magic is allowed to the extent
that Muggles can explain it. I mean, if Muggles see a
wizard casting "Lumos", they can assume that guy was
switching a flashlight on. A Patronus Charm cannot be
easily explained by Muggles. Does anyone see my point here?
