I think it serves two purposes. Firstly, the red herring about Tonks 
lurking about outside the Room of Requirement, to make us think she was 
being polyjuiced by someone else. The fact that her Patronus had changed 
served to *seemingly* confirm this suspicion. But herring it certainly 
was, because it turns out her change of patronus was because of her new 
love for Lupin.

I think that JKR is setting us up for Harry's patronus to change in book 
seven, and I predict that Patronus Prongs will become
a Phoenix after Fawkes rescues our Hero from a sticky situation 
somewhere mid-book.
