Meltowne:
She is suggesting here that the animagus form represents the person's
personality. Think about the animagi we know - McGonaggle, Rita
Skeeter, and the Maruaders. Each of their forms tells us something
about them, doesn't it.

She is again suggesting something about personality, but I don't
think it is reflected the same way. Here we see DD's patronus as a
phoenix, but I think that's because DD consider's the patronus to be
protective. He has a deep trust for the pheonix, and knows it can
save him. Harry's patronus takes one of his father's forms - he
trusts his father to protect him. Of course that doesn't tell us
much about the other characters' patronuses.
