Magpie:
Harry does seem to have a knack for throwing off Imperius, but in the 
end it seemed like the main reason casting a Patronus at 13 was so 
unusual was that nobody teaches it. People seemed to be doing okay in 
the DA and some of them were 14 or average students. Kind of sad for 
Hermione getting a lower grade on her DADA OWL when Harry got extra 
credit for producing his Patronus and wowing everyone when she could 
have done it too for extra credit.
