Mike:
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.
