I bet the Patronus’ power isn’t very strong when it’s far away for its owner. It’s just strong enough to get the message across, but not enough to repel dementors.
I hereby declare this to be fact. Not least because otherwise Harry would be tempted to send his Patronus into the Dementors’ pit at any time, which problem I had thought about and planned to have him just not think of.
I hadn’t thought of that, but (in canon) only members of the Order of the Phoenix can use their Patronuses that way.

Does this count as a violation of the “don’t say ‘Eliezer said X’” rule? :P
This could make sense, but does it say anything about the possibility of long-range Horcrux action?
