This is an easy one. My favotite moment in the entire series is
Harry's in PoA. When his Stag Patronus comes back to him after
driving off the Dementors, the stag lowers his head. Harry reaches
out as if to pet him and whispers,
"Prongs"
The poignency of that moment, of Harry making that connection with
his dead father, realizing that his love for his father is his most
powerful emotion,...
I'm blubbering like a baby right now just thinking about it.
BTW, Lupin had trained Harry to create a Patronus by thinking of
a "happy" memory. But Harry creates his most powerful Patronus with
an unconscious thought of "Love". This demonstrates, to me, that the
Patronus Charm comes from a place more like what Kemper was saying,
from the soul. Or maybe at the least, a Patronus made from the heart
outshines a Patronus made from the mind.
