> I do think however, that the form of the patronus is linked to the
inspiration for the Patronus. Which makes me wonder why Ron's
patronus is a Jack Russell terrier and Cho Chang's is a swan.

Ceridwen:
Jack Russells are tenacious and hyper.  My friend has a blind Jack 
Russell, but that doesn't stop her: she will still chase down any 
strange dog she smells on her lawn.  She is loyal; brave; and 
fearless, which is not always the same thing as brave.  Maybe this 
characterizes Ron.

As for Cho, I think her Patronus was a hint that she was still loyal 
to and in love with Cedric, since swans mate for life (or at least, 
I've always heard that they do).

Ryan:
> 1. The concept of the phoenix may be even more important to
Dumbledore (and perhaps to the story) than just that Fawkes is a
phoenix. I mean, why call your resistance movement "The Order of
the Phoenix?" Maybe some of the Order members will clarify that in
DH.

Ceridwen:
The phoenix self-immolates and rises, recreated again, from its own 
ashes.  I think the phoenix symbolism parallels Dumbledore's usual 
habit of giving second chances.  And for naming the organization for 
it, DD is associated with the Phoenix, as we find out (but of course 
the Order members would already know that), and at least one (if not 
many more than one) person in the Order has been given a second or 
subsequent chance by DD.  That's just my opinion, of course.
