KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -The stag is James Potter’s animagus form and likely his patronus. As the kings of the forest, stags are considered noble and represent leadership and courage, both of which Harry demonstrates repetitively. Beyond that, the patronus is a representation of the bond Harry feels with his parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the books, Harry’s Patronus take the form of a stag, representing his father, while adversary turned hero Professor Snape’s Patronus is a doe, a symbol of his long love for Harry’s mother Lily.

Detailed explanation-3: -Their connection and love showed through their Patronuses in a different way to an exact match like Tonks and Lupin. Lily’s husband’s Patronus was a stag, the male form of her doe. The stag and doe complemented each other rather than matched.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Potter, Snape’s Patronus, a soul-guarding magic spell, takes the form of a deer-more specifically, a doe-as a symbol of his love for Lily, because hers was a doe as well.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phineas Nigellus’s portrait inside it overheard Hermione and reported that to Snape. Snape thus knows that Harry and Hermione are in the Forest of Dean, though not exactly where; the Forest of Dean is a largish place, several wooded sections totaling about 40 square miles.
