Now Tammy Rizzo says:

Well, that's easy.  Have you ever wandered too near a swan's nest?  Those suckers are 
MEAN!  They hiss, they batter at you with their VERY strong wings, they peck and leave 
awful bruises, they BITE and can not only break the skin but can actually take pieces of 
flesh, and they don't give up their territory!  They fight until YOU back off, or you kill them.  
Swans are MEAN beasts!  They are, if this is possible, meaner than geese, though swans, 
since they don't hang out in groups like geese do, might not be AS *dangerous* as geese 
(who are generally somewhat smaller than swans but have numbers in their favor most 
times).  It didn't surprise me at all to find that Cho's Patronus was a swan.  Or, well, that 
SOMEONE'S Patronus was a swan, at least.  Oh, wait.  Were you asking why ANYONE had 
a swan Patronus, or why CHO had one?
