Don't worry Charles, we will run together :) There are too few of us 
left standing, so any addition welcome, hehe.

Yes, he does have Patronus, but the possibility of Snape casting 
Patronus that is based on the memory, which is happy for him opens up 
sooo many possibilities - as in Snape being happy remembering James 
being dead, or now he can add dead Dumbledore to his collection of 
happy memories.

Heeee, same Patronus as Harry has? Would be funny.

Alla:

That would be nice, woudn't it? For six books JKR kept beating in our 
heads that Harry is wrong, wrong, wrong, and then  here we go.

If he is evil, I can see Voldemort being his patronus for example :)

For something less erm
 monumental, how about a cockroach or a bat?
