Ceridwen:
I think that, as LV split his soul and removed the pieces, he became 
a bit less human each time.  He was born with one quality of snakes: 
Parseltongue.  So as he becomes less human, he becomes more 
snakelike.  I think that, if he became an Animagus, he would become a 
snake; and his Patronus is probably a snake (or a basilisk or other 
serpentine creature), IMO.  Snakelike properties might even be a 
Slytherin family trait.

Look at Scrimgeour.  He is very leonine.  I think that, if he decided 
to start making multiple horcruxes, he would turn even more lion-
like.  Some people just tend toward looking like certain animals.

And yes, I do think the ESE!Guys have Patronuses (Patroni?).  These 
are for defense, and even bad guys need to defend themselves.
