Hi:

<<<I tried to read as many Dementor passages as I could just now too
and I came to the conclusion that the Good Guys may be too optimistic -
the Dementors are ALREADY on Voldy's side - which is why they went after
Harry during the Pettigrew/Sirius/Lupin fiasco - they are just biding
their time for him to reappear.>>>

I think so too Brooks. That's really the only rational explanation for
why they tried to administer the Kiss to Harry (not that the Dementors
are rational creatures by any means). It seems they were even intent on
harming Harry *before* Sirius -- weren't Sirius & Hermione collapsed in a
faint by that point (PoA isn't handy)? That adds support to the argument.

In GoF, Dumbledore also tells Moody that he believes the Ministry has
made an error in allying themselves with such foul creatures. Dumbledore
detests them & doesn't trust them -- and I'm betting they will be on
Voldy's side for sure. Good thing Prof Lupin worked with Harry on the
patronus so much! There's also a good chance that the Voldemort forces are
aware of Harry's weakness when it comes to Dementors -- Draco, Crabbe &
Goyle all know it's a weak spot for him.
