Lolita:

Well, we will know if it changes into a phoenix. It used to be DD's 
patronus, so it's 'available' now that DD is dead (that is, if only 
one person can have one kind of patronus at a time, which we don't 
know. There might be 50 wizards with phoenix patronuses out there, 
as far as we know. Or maybe I've forgotten the way that functions, 
in which case, feel free to remind me :)).  
In any case, noticing a phoenix patronus here and there throughout 
the book should tip us off - DD is dead - whose patronus could it 
be? After all, who could have been in such a shock after DD's death 
that their patronus should change into sth resembling DD, if not 
Snape?
