Darn it you beat me by a fraction with this newsflash potioncat. :( I
have been checking all day too, hoping that Jo would answer a question
today to share our spirit of excitement with us.

Well since you have asked the question on everyones lips I will give
you the answer I was baiting for in my post.

Severus Snape conjures a particularly special patronus I have believed
for several months. I predict Snapes Patronus is a Unicorn, my
reasoning is based somewhat on Theological stuff, but basically the
reasoning is that Dumbledore has incredible faith in Snapes loyalty
which would suggest that something symbolic of Sevvies deeper
emotional persona would be a symbol of incredible loyalty..
That translates virtually literally into a Unicorn Patronus.

Just for the record thats my opinion forward..
