If anyone could teach Hagrid to conjure a Patronus, it would be Albus
Dumbledore. Somehow I can imagine Hagrid can conjure a patronus, and
that it is something absolutely huge and scary, or as Hagrid would
call it, an "interesting" animal.
For those members who can't conjure (such as Figgy), perhaps they have
another means to communicate directly with Dumbledore - such as the
two-way mirrors that Sirius and James used? Or perhaps there's a
portrait in a hidden room of Figgy's house, a former Headmaster perhaps?
Now... Snape's happy thought. I can't imagine his happy thought would
be something the rest of us would normally call "happy." I mean for a
lot of us our happiest moment would involve a loved one, either a
wedding or a child or even a moment with our parents. Can't imagine
Snape having happy thoughts like that. I CAN however, imagine Snape's
happiest thought being the time he really got one over on James &
Sirius (I presume there is such a time). Or perhaps the day Dumbledore
"forgave" him for his DE past and took him back. I wonder if your
happy thought can be one that hasn't happened yet, but you imagine
soon will? If it can, perhaps his happy thought is the day Voldemort
is fully gone.
