Ok, wait, whose Patronus is a Phoenix, again?

There's so much that's mentioned in interviews and left out of the
books, which could SO contribute to the storyline, and so it's
confusing to me if something must be explained Outside of the canon
story. Makes me think it's almost bad on JKR's part, to leave out
info like that. -_-;;;

Question: How old is old in the wizarding world, and how old are 
Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall?
J.K. Rowling responds: Dumbledore is a hundred and fifty, and 
Professor McGonagall is a sprightly seventy. Wizards have a much 
longer life expectancy than Muggles. (Harry hasn't found out about 
that yet.)

What form does Dumbledore's Patronus take?

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.
