"1. Remus has a patronus but what form does it take?
He produced "..a silvery thing from his wand.." on the Express in 
PoA, 
but no description of it's appearance is given.
There are hints that the patronus gives clues to a persons inner 
self; 
an animal form that looks a bit dubious might give  us  a clue to 
whose 
side he's really on. I thought it a bit odd that he didn't 
demonstrate  
his own patronus when teaching Harry how to do it."

Arianna suggests:
	Well, those scenes happen near the beginning of the book, way 
before Lupin knew the truth about Sirius's innocence...  I'm not 
sure if a patronus could work this way, but when rereading the 
book I thought that Lupin's patronus took the form of his dear, 
sweet, simple friend who was murdered while trying to avenge 
James and Lily: Wormtail.  Could this be possible?


Also Kneasy, I am the person who asked JKR if we should 
believe what the sorting hat says.  I still wonder if the sorting hat
just places people randomly unless they have an opinion.  
Please see message 87765.
