5This is a nice answer -- I like your thoughts on the (possible) use of controlled emotions to deter Dementors. An interesting idea. +1– SlytherincessCommented Feb 21, 2015 at 4:21

2Original thought, and a brilliant one, I should say, the possible use of concealment of emotions. I'm just waiting for a few days to accept this answer, unless something even more surprising and dramatic comes up. This also helps in answering scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/82055/…, which partly motivated me to ask this question.– N UnnikrishnanCommented Feb 21, 2015 at 11:27

I wonder if Snape had a particular objection to Patronuses in relation to Harry, given the revealed nature of his own Patronus.– EtheurCommented Jul 29, 2015 at 15:38

1It would have been revealed his emotional attachment to Lily, and Snape hated showing vulnerability--though he apparently didn't mind using his Patronus anonymously, as he did in DH. His spy role was probably a major reason, as well. Death Eaters cannot produce Patronuses. If Voldemort discovered Snape's ability, he might have realized that Snape was not trustworthy.– E.

Another possibility would be spells producing bright, sustained light, as it is mentioned that they are creatures that thrive in darkness.– GwynCommented Feb 11, 2021 at 2:42

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
