→Greater Picture: Snape's Patronus form (which is a spoiler), and comments on what makes the shape |
||
Dòng 40:
There are two spells that relate a wizard or witch to an animal shape: the Patronus charm, and the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Animagus|Animagus]] transformation. In the course of the books, we see only one witch who is both Animagus and casts a visible Patronus, that being [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]]. The fact that her Animagus form is the same as her Patronus, a tabby cat, would indicate that whatever influences the shape of the one would also influence the shape of the other. It is perhaps a reasonable assumption that the shape resulting from either of these spells is related to the current mental state of the caster; but the Animagus transform, being a one-time enabling of the ability to transform, likely does not allow for change in the animal one changes to, rather enabling the transform according to the state of the caster at the time the transform was enabled, while the Patronus charm, being invoked afresh each time, reflects the caster's current state. There is more discussion of this at the entry for the Animagus transform.
While it is noted in the Extended Description that we see Professor Snape's Patronus on two occasions, we deliberately elide the shape of that Patronus as it constitutes a relatively large spoiler. Snape's Patronus takes the shape of a doe, and is seen first in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 19|the Forest of Dean]], and later in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|Snape's memories]] of a conversation with Professor Dumbledore. Dumbledore recognizes it as being related to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|Lily Evans, as she then was]], and Snape's unrequited love for her. We note that in three instances, Harry, Snape, and Tonks, the Patronus has taken a shape related to a major object of affection: Harry's is related to his father, Tonks' is related to Lupin, and Snape's to Lily. The Patronus form is clearly not limited to love, requited, unrequited, or lost, however, as Hermione's Patronus is an otter, and if its form was only related to love objects, we would expect it to be a weasel.
