Severus Snape Question

What does he think of?

To produce a Patronus, you have to think of something that makes you happy, and maintain that happy thought. What does Severus think of to produce his Patronus? He almost seems like he'd be incapable of doing so; he's always so depressed and torn, and he hasn't had the best life, so I'm sure happy memories are few and far between. What do you think he thinks of?

His wonderful, admiring, sexy fan-girls? ;)

I'm sure it has something to do with Lily. Perhaps when they were in the meadow,and he was telling her everything about the wizarding world (ya know, before he hit Petunia with a branch and upset Lily)?

Because his Patronus IS Lily's memory. Remember in "A Prince's Tale" when he cast the Patronus in front of Dumbledore? The "after all this time" and "always"? His patronus is BECAUSE of her.

Thats the only true answer there is. She was the first person and really the only one who ever cared and asked nothing in return.

The day Sirius died?...just kidding. I'd say probably his memories of his time with Lily before going to Hogwarts. The times he spent telling Lily about magic. They would be the few instances where he'd be able to speak enthusiastically about magic, be able to impress her with what he knew and also have her full (possibly admiring) attention on him.

Well seeing as his patronous still takes the form of Lily's, I think it must be a memory of her :) She was the only thing that ever made him truly happy. I'd like to know what exactly the memory of her is though, maybe they did share a kiss at some point? It'd have to be a really strong, happy feeling to produce a patronous and memories of Lily are likely to be bitter-sweet for him.
