I agree. When Harry teached the DA the Patronus charm we see that 
they take forms that seem to represent the characters pretty well 
(Cho was a swan, as I recall, and Hermione an otter). More 
significantly, in the Edinburgh chat JKR said that DD's patronus is a 
phoenix "which is very representative of him." So it does seem that a 
patronus, like the animagus form, is an animal form that represents 
the essential being of a person. 

This means that if Harry became an animagus (which JKR already told 
us he isn't going to), he would take the form of a stag. This makes 
sense because it has been emphasised that Harry is very like his 
father - not just physically, but in more essential qualities.
