Patroni are always animals? Or can they be something  else?"

I believe they are USUALLY animals, but the only exception
I can recall is Rita Skeeter.  A beetle isn't exactly an animal,
but I suppose some could argue that it could still be considered
one.  Regardless, I don't see Partoni (is that the correct plural  form?)
as being human-like vampires, merpeople, centaurs, hags, werewolfs,
well, you get the point. I also would include house elves, and gobblins in 
this eventhough they aren't exactly human-like.  I see them more like 
"simple minded" creatures since that's basically what we've seen (I  say
simple minded meaning animals, bugs and the like). Does anyone 
else have any ideas?
