My patronus would definitely be a Kneazle (see FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM by Newt Scamander - Page 24). I, like the Kneazle, am intelligent, independent (and if I am being honest), occasionally aggressive. The job of the patronus is to push away the bad by use of good feelings and memories. Kneazles have the "uncanny ability to detect unsavoury or suspicious characters," which makes them the PERFECT patronus!! They guide you home when you are lost and bring you back to the safe place you long for. When despair sets in, my patronus will push out the evil and fear and replace it with light and comfort, like a warm home does on a cold day. I hope one day, when I am an old lady that I own many Kneazles that I can cross breed with cats. I wouldn't mind being referred to as "an old Kneazle lady."
