***Katie:
It does...but given the book that that description appears in...I 
feel like she was referring to Harry's own Patronus, and the ending 
of POA. I mean, the whole Stag thing was very important throughout 
POA, especially finding out who Moody, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs 
were. 

However, having said that, there's no reason it couldn't have been a 
double meaning moment, as Jo already had the whole thing in her head, 
she could certainly have been doing some foreshadowing...and of 
course, no one would have made any connection to Snape or Lily, 
because we didn't know the story. 

Good catch! Very interesting. I have to get my book and think on that 
some more! : ) Katie
