He was not interested in defending magic. He was a murderer, an attacker a dark wizard. He had no need, not at Hogwarts and not later. Never.

He wasn't able to preform one.

He didn't need one, with the dementors as his Allies.

Most people don't have patronuses. They are very complicated magic. I don't think Voldemort would have had any really happy memories to draw on, even before he split his soul.

I would most likely think it is a snake when he was in Hogwarts

@icecreamdif plural is Patroni by the way. Same like Animagi 😉 but I totally agree with what you said of course. Good point!

Thanks

He didn't have one. To produce one, you have to have a happy memory in mind. I don't think he had many happy memory's.

LeaLupin-Here's an excerpt from Deathly Hallows. "When the patronuses glided out of the dungeon there were cries of shock from the people waiting outside."

And, here's one from Order of the Phoenix "The few patronuses people had managed to conjure faded away into silver mist..."

The books always use "patronuses" as the plural.

He won't have one because he doesn't have any happy memories
