This one might be old news, but I just realized it. For the spell
Expecto Patronum--James' animagus figure was a stag, so when Harry
thinks happy thoughts while needing a protector against dementors,
he "expects (expecto) his father (patronum)." I'm not sure he
realizes it's his father's help/force, but it seems so to me. Agree?

Lynda:

Not only do I agree, but through the years, I've been surprised that people
haven't seemed to pick up on this idea more. I haven't even seen any
discussion threads on it. Not saying there haven't been. I'm fairly new on
this list, but I haven't seen them.  Oh, I've got kids at the door again. It
seems the Dads and Moms forgot they have school tomorrow!
