How's your Philip Pullman? Remember that Lyra's mother, a morally
ambiguous character in spades until the end (presumably ...), has a
monkey for a daimon, and the authorial comment is that it is
apparently incredible but true that the woman and the ape (sorry -
wrong book!) should be the same, but they are.

A good way to resolve it would of course be to see MM's Patronus; if
it's a kitty, or a sabre-toothed tiger, then QED.

I've been puzzled about Harry's Patronus - the way people kept on
nailing Sirius for thinking that Harry was a rerun of James instead of
his own person in his own time, but they do seem to be identical on
that very intimate level. Where does Lily come in?

Someone imagined her Patronus as a dove; I've always imagined
something like a hawk or a kestrel, not sure why. Oh well, perhaps in
HBP the answers they do lurk!
