Is your Patronus the same as your Animagus?

I believe that a character's Patronus will take the same shape as 
her/his Animagus.  While we no conclusive evidence via canon, 
because we have only been privy to either a character's Patronus or 
Animagus, it appears they derive from the same internal thing. 

Look for example at Jo's comments made on March 4, 2004; when asked 
if a person can choose what animal you become when you turn into an 
Animagus, Rowling replied "No, you can't choose.  You become the 
animal that suits you best.  Imagine the humiliation when you finally 
transform after years of study and find that you most closely 
resemble a warthog."

This implies a character's Animagus reflects her/his personality in 
some fashion, the animal spirit of that particular character.  
Although we have no official formula or theory as to how a 
character's Patronus is formed, all examples show that it also takes 
the form of an animal.  

We know that a character cannot chose what animal their Animagus is, 
and nothing suggests that a character may select what 
animal/shape/object her/his Patronus undertakes, thusly I suggest 
that a character will have the same animal as both her/his Patronus 
and Animagus.
