"I don't think that simply having his father's characteristics was enough," she said still nodding in agreement. While she knew that the Puff didn't just mean physical appearance, others might be thinking so. "I think if Harry didn't recognize that he and his father shared similar features, both physically and with their personalities, then his Patronus would have taken on a different form. Harry's Patronus is a stag, because he idenifies with his father." She paused for a moment to think about the Animagus notion. Hadn't there been someone whose form was a beetle? Could you imagine producing a Patronus like a phoenix and then the person next to you a beetle? That thought was laughable. "A Patronus comes from the memory you use to produce it. Harry must have used a memory involving his parents when he produced his Patronus. I think that's why it took the form it did. Perhaps if he had used another memory it would have produced a different result?" Besides, she always thought about ones animagus form as being Animagus form as being a reflection of ones inner nature, not connected to memory, but the core of who a person is.

She flashed a look at Lexi. Hey, had they agreed on something? She smiled at her before glancing around the classroom for other input.

Alyssa did say that she wasn't going to say any more but she had to add something to what the Prefect Kurumi had said about Harry. "Kurumi, you mentioned that it was most likely Harry's memories of his parents that resulted in his patronus being a stag. But Harry didn't know his parents. They died when he was a baby. The only possible memory would be that of his mother screaming when she died. Could it be because people kept telling him that he reminded them of his father and that he had his mother's eyes that he eventually believed that it was true and that became his memories.
Different people had told him different things about his father. Professor Snape had told Harry that his father was a trouble maker and arrogant, while Sirius Black told Harry that James was a kind person and a loyal friend. What he knew about his father was based on heresay. So shouldn't his memories have caused a different Patronus to be formed every time, because his memories would have kept changing every time somebody mentioned something new about his father to him? Basically what I'm trying to say is why did it have to be a stag. Why couldn't it have been a doe or even something else altogether?"Alyssa hoped that she made sense. It couldn't have been because of his gender, because Professor Snape was a man and his patronus was a doe.
