I knew right away that it was Snape's and here's why. Because Snape's
patronus was a big secret. JKR went out of her way in previous books to
avoid showing us his patronus, even refused to answer when asked,
because it was a big surprise for book 7. So, hmm, here's a mysterious
patronus that's important to the plot somehow - whose patronus was it,
again, that we couldn't be told what it was because it'd be a spoiler?
