Harry's character derives itself around what makes Harry most happy – his will to protect, and that is the reason his Patronus was a dragon. (There's also the fact that Harry has a very close connection to the dragon, although of course, Dumbledore did not know about that).

JKR has specifically said that the ability to produce a Patronus is a sign of superior magical ability. That's why Hermione knew Harry was powerful, because even other exceptional wizards (save for Dumbledore) have never produced a Patronus that drove off hundreds of Dementors at once.
- Albus Dumbledore’s Phoenix. Unsurprisingly, Albus Dumbledore's Patronus is the strongest Patronus in the Harry Potter series. Dumbledore's Patronus takes on the form of a phoenix, and as such is the only known character with a magical creature for a Patronus.
- Harry Potter’s Stag. Harry struggled at first when learning how to cast a Patronus, but he had some awful memories to contend with, heightened because of the presence of the Dementors.
- James Potter's Stag. James' son inherited the stag Patronus from him. From James' perspective, though, his Patronus took on this form as it matched his Animagus, which in and of itself is a complicated bit of magic to master.
- Lily Potter's Doe. Lily Potter's magic is all about love and protection, and her greatest strength is her kind and caring heart. The only way that Harry was protected from Voldemort's killing curse as an infant was because of the love of his mother.
As if on cue, Hermione's Patronus, a bright silver otter, flounced gracefully after the stag, its sleek body gamboling over the other animal's back. The otter circled the stag playfully, winding around its neck and legs with amazing ease, before sprinting to the other side of the room.
It does a very good job of depicting a powerful Harry, without having that power just overwhelm the narrative (this blog post does a good job of analysing it), as well as extensive world building (especially the alleys beyond Knockturn) and discussion of the nature of magic.
