being difficult, only a handleful of wizards should be able to use
them. Hell, that means, practically every lightside adult wizard we
know of in the books can use a patronus. It makes Harry a lot less
special if everyone can do it."

Del replies:
Harry was special because of 3 combined particularities:

1. He could conjure a *corporeal* Patronus.

2. He did it at a very young age (13).

3. He managed it in the presence of real Dementors.

But since we saw in OoP that several members of the DA managed to
conjure Patronuses, I don't see what is so surprising or disappointing
about the adult members of the Order being able to conjure Patronuses too.
