Dana: 
I do not totally agree because we are also told that his Patronus = 
Prongs not just any stag.

This is what DD told Harry in PoA.

Pg312 UKed paperback: 

`Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly 
when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular 
Patronus? Prongs rode again last night'

`So you did see your father last night Harry 
 you found him inside 
yourself.'

End quote from canon. 

For what it is worth I do think Harry's father and mother (and the 
once we love that never truly leave us, like Sirius and DD)will play 
a significant role in DH. 

Ps: Has anyone noticed the face of a woman on the back on the UK 
cover? When you look at the clouds underneath the moon, you see a 
face of a woman; with the white being her face, the grey her hair and 
blue to outline the face? Could this be Harry's mother?
