I think Voldemort has a Patronus like the other wizards and it is a giant snake. Voldemort has a strong connection with snakes. I think a giant snake is suitable for his Patronus.

If you observe closely when the students secretly practice conjuring their patronae in the Room of Requirement, Ginny Weasley conjures a horse, not a swan.

In the books and in the movies it's stated that all patronus manifestations are totem animals, guardians. I find it interesting that Harry conjures a Stag while Snape conjures a Doe.

1. Guessing from house symbols

Godric Gryffindor -- lion (gold on scarlet) (Luna's roaring hat)
Helga Hufflepuff -- badger (black on yellow)
Rowena Ravenclaw -- eagle (saying "nicely cast!") (bronze on blue) (a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle)

2. Guessing from Animagi form

Dunno if there's any correlation between an Animagus's form and his/her Patronus. The rationale in favor could be that they both spring from a deeper affinity for one kind of animal. If so, then McGonagall = tabby cat, etc.

3. Having some fun

Tom Marvolo Riddle -- magpie (steals shiny objects)
Cornelius Fudge -- ostrich

Professor Filius Flitwick -- blue whale
Professor Rubeus Hagrid -- dormouse (dragon is too obvious)
Professor Alastor Moody -- chameleon (it's all in the eyeballs)

Professor Gilderoy Lockhart: himself Very Happy (peacock if you insist on animal)

Oh, duh. Minerva McGonagall's is indeed:

Deathly Hallows Ch. 30 The Sacking of Severus Snape wrote:
... she raised her wand. From the tip burst three silver cats with spectacle markings around their eyes. The Patronuses ran sleekly ahead, filling the spiral staircase with silvery light ...


Eagle's head: Which came first, the Patronus or the Animagus form?
McGonagall: Oh, for heaven's sake. The beloved pet came before them both!
Eagle's head: Well spoken! (door opens)

They seem to be animals. I'm not sure.
