    I can't see Harry's patronus changing because it is linked to his 
father. I think that it will remain a stag.  I can see Snape's patronus 
changing because of the shock of killing DD, who he has worked with for 
15 years, and who he must have had some regard for. As far as plot is 
concerned, a Phoenix patronus would allow him to continue to contact the 
order, where his own would not. To change Harry's patronus does nothing 
to further the plot. IMHO.
