If we're going with the unrequited love theory, then maybe Sirius' was a stag? <cackling Peevishly and winking>

But really after all the speculation about Snape's patronus being a bat or spider or snake or vulture, I certainly never expected Bambi!  When I read that chapter, I ran through every possible woman who could have sent it and then just gave up.  I get why JKR did it, but it was a little unexpected.

And I love the image of the other patronuses laughing. Poor Snape.
