Is your Patronus the same as your Animagus?

Chys:
Never read him.

Chys:
Well, that makes sense. 

I was thinking more of the asian wise monkey; like he's older than 
his time- even if he is still a small, insignificant-seeming 
creature. Then there's the chance he won't have an animagus form.

Chys:
LOL, that could be, I would really want to see now.

Chys:
Sirius, maybe everyone just assumes he's still stuck in the past 
since his traumatic experience in Azkaban.

Lily.... well, being redundant- The eyes, somehow. 

I think Harry is more like his elder version of James. James, 
once he had matured, is like Harry, not just in appearance, but 
Harry can be fiery like his mom too. He's kind of got an old soul, 
(or it could be a result of his stay with the Dursleys, his being 
more mature in some ways than some of the other students,) but not 
much real-life experience to back it up. That's why I thought 
monkey, initially, would be cute and reflective. (Plus the jokes 
wouldn't be too bad. ^^)

Chys:
Notice they all have wings? Why not a bear?
I agree with you there though, kestral or an owl, which is common 
for wizards, but it's all symbolism. What animal is a good 
defender, aside from a dog? I can see her as a shield for Harry.
