JLV here:
I definitely agree that the Patronus is the most likely candidate
for being the method of communication that the Order use.
I would like to add that the Patronus has a particular significance
for Harry as his Patronus represents his father. Now, I believe one
of the main themes of the books is parents (a subject close to JKRs
heart as we know from interviews/her website) and I think that
Harry's Patronus is highly symbolic of parental protection. (A bit
like Lily's sacrifice, if you will.) I therefore thought it would be
a shame if all these impressive pieces of magic can do is chase
Dementors away (amazing as that may be). All this has led me to
speculate on the role that Patroni (particularly Harry's) are likely
to play in the final battle with Voldemort. I want Prongs to fight
side by side with Harry - wouldn't that be a Kodak moment?
vmonte responds:
Maybe one of the steps Voldemort has taken to become immortal has
made him very much like a dementor--a soulless creature.
Perhaps Harry's patronus will push Voldemort through the veil. So
Harry is saved by his mother at the beginning of the series, and by
his father at the end of the series.
