1. Remus Lupin cast a wolf Patronus, despite being a werewolf, which is an affliction I don't think he was fond of. Why do you think his Patronus took this form, rather than one he possibly would have preferred? Or do you think he actually liked his wolf Patronus?
2. Severus Snape cast a doe Patronus, because of his feelings for Lily Potter. Nymphadora Tonks original Patronus was in the form of a jackrabbit, but changed into a wolf because of her feelings for Remus Lupin. Harry Potter cast a stag Patronus, perhaps because he loved his father. Hermione Granger cast an otter Patronus, and while Ron Weasley 's Patronus isn't an otter, his surname is in the otter family.
