  >> First we know that the messenger aspect of a Patronus is 
  something conceived and refined by Dumbledore. No one else has 
  figured this out. 

  Wink:
  Well, Harry (and the readers of the books) have seen Dumbledore 
  send messages via the Patronus, and now in HBP we see Tonks 
  doing it.  But where in the 6 published books is it shown or 
  said that this was something conceived and refined by Dumbledore?  
  Book, chapter, and or quote, please.  Or do you know this only 
  because JKR said so in an interview or on her web site?  

  Andie:

  On JKR's web site, in FAQ she states:  Members of the Order use their
  Patronuses to communicate with each other.  They are the only
  wizards who know how to use their spirit quardians in this
  way & they have been taught to do so by
  DD (he invented this method of communication).
