1) i don't actually know - i can't think of one single memory that would be powerful enough to produce a patronus. maybe i'd just try to channel a few different things into it: the knowledge that i'm doing good in life so far, that my family is healthy and happy, and maybe draw on my brother's and sister's newfound joy in having become parents.
2) uhm... actually i don't mind any of the houses. i think i'd say hufflepuff but only because i'm a devout slytherclaw that keeps getting sorted gryffindor - and i can see why, but i don't think that the qualities that make me gryffindor are my most prominent or important ones. maybe. and i sure do have hufflepuff qualities, but those are kind of in the backseat. idk.
3) curled up on my sofa under a blanket, either reading/writing or my new pastime: knitting while listening to podfic or watching a movie/tv series.
4) that's a tough one. losing memories = losing friends (i mean, how would i know i had friends if i had no memories? but also, if i lose my memories, i'd lose the 'reasons' for why are friends in the first place). but losing friends and keeping memories is also a big deal for me because i don't make friends easily and losing the precious few that i do have would be very, very painful. but i'd have my memories and life experience, so there's that. TL;DR: i don't know, i think i'd go with losing friends, assuming that i would be able to (assuming they're not dead) regain their friendship on basis of our shared past.
5) i don't re-read fanfics that much that i have a specific one or two that i return to when i'm low - actually, when i'm low, i tend to read books instead of fanfic because when i read books i'm completely cut off from the outside world and can just hide in the one i'm reading. that survival mechanism has worked for me since i learned how to read and i think after twenty years it's not going to change. books ground me and let me escape at the same time.
(but for fanfics that make me smile and feel happy? secrets of a successful marriage by valtyr (tony/steve), creevey at large by nopejr (genfic with harry/draco), the act of creation will be your salvation by scifigirl47 (bot!fic with background tony/steve), pretty much anything harry/draco lettered writes (but mostly the boy who lived twice because that fic is perfection), long live living (if living can be this) (remus/sirius) by excaliburned, motion practice (clint/phil with background bruce/tony, pepper/natasha and steve/bucky) by the_wordbutler and those are just the ones i remember from off the top of my head. :) )
