Should have waited a bit more before hitting send as now I have more
thoughts...

What Patroni do we know about... And some thoughts given JKR's
penchant(sp?) for using mythological themes...

Harry Potter--Stag--See my previous post.
Hermione Granger--Otter-- Otr is a Dwarf in Norse mythology with a
pencheant for changing shape. He was accidently slain by Loki and a
huge ransom was demanded for the life of this dwarf. Interesting
point. Loki is aften considered another form of Cernunnos... the
horned one... the stag.
Ron Weasley--Jack Russell Terrier--I've really got nothing here except
this: Crup :Magical creature that strongly resembles a Jack Russell
terrier, except that a Crup has a forked tail. Crups are extremely
loyal to wizards and ferocious toward Muggles. They eat almost anything
Cho Chang--Swan--SWAN-MAIDENS: Related to the VALKYRIES : Norse Mythology.
Albus Dumbledore--Phoenix--I'm sure we don't need a lesson here but...
 interesting that it's the bird of rebirth and dumbledore is now dead...

Distaiyi the Cynical.
