Asli:
I think the happy memory by the lake is the fact that he understands
that it was himself who saved him and Sirius when he was back in
that time, as he was being attacked by dementors. He knows that he
will be able to conjure the Patronus because he saw it earlier,
before he went back in time, and that thought helps him conjure the
patronus. As for the memory of the Patronus in the Quidditch field,
he doesn't look after he conjures it, as he was trying to get the
snitch at the time so he isn't aware that it is a stag. Lupin,
however, probably is, since he says: 'That was some Patronus' and I
think he mentions it at the end of PoA.
