Tiger: 

You know, I think you're right about it not being necessarily in the 
books. I know I've deduced it, or it's at least highly suggested.

is an animagus and can conjure a patronus. 

TK -- TigerPatronus

AOL Chat w JKR 19 Oct 2000: Does the animal one turns into as an 
Animagi reflect your personality? JKR: Very well deduced, Narri! I 
personally would like to think that I would transform into an otter, 
which is my favorite animal. Imagine how horrible it would be if I 
turned out to be a cockroach! 

JK Rowling's World Book Day Chat, March 4, 2004: kelly_holland: When 
you turn into an Animagus, can you choose what animal you become? Or 
does this get "assigned" to you? JK Rowling replies -> No, you can't 
choose. You become the animal that suits you best. Imagine the 
humiliation when you finally transform after years of study and find 
that you most closely resemble a warthog.

Sunday 15 August 2004 J K Rowling at the Edinburgh Book Festival: 
What form does Dumbledore's Patronus take? JKR: Good question. Can 
anyone guess? You have had a clue. There was a little whisper there. 
It is a phoenix, which is very representative of Dumbledore for 
reasons that I am sure you can guess.
