zgirnius:
Neat idea. I think I agree with other posters that say Dumbledore would 
not have chosen Hermione for such a role in advane, but she is someone 
who is capable of figuring it out/becoming convinved of it.

I wonder, though, if the business about Tonks' Patronus changing in 
Book 6 is not setting something up for Book 7. I thyink Harry would 
believe a message brought to him by a Phoenix patronus...
