could perform that spell and that DD had taught it to them. Can you
think of any other non-Order member who has one (other than the 
students in the DA).

> The Patronus charm is NOT just an Order thing. It's a very difficult
charm, but it is quite well-known. Reference Harry's DADA examiner who
asked him to perform the Patronus Charm for a bonus point in the
practical portion of his exam (OOTP).

Cheryl:
According to Remus Lupin, in Prisoner of Azkaban, the Patronus charm is
considered to be "well beyond OWL (Ordinary Wizarding Level) Defense
Against the Dark Arts Training. So my guess it is only taught to
students studying for their Newt in DADA. So I'd guess that all
Aurors would have one and any one that was interested/studied the Dark
Arts or the Defense Against the Dark Arts. Since Harry was able to learn
it, he was able to teach it to the Dumbledore Army members.
