Oh. It never occurred to me to wonder if the Dementors might have 
gone easier on Death Eaters (Sirius did mention numbers of Death 
Eaters crying out in their Dementor-induced nightmares and 
eventually dying of depression). Instead, I recently have been 
wondering how could Death Eaters ally with Dementors when Death 
Eaters are [I assumed!] as vulnerable to having first their 
happiness and then their hopefulness and then their sanity sucked out 
of them as ordinary wizarding folk and Muggle folk. They probably 
won't affect V himself, but his human-ish followers, attempting to 
work together with Dementors, will become ineffectual and then dead. 
That might suit V just fine, but seems unlikely to cheer up the 
Death Eaters who came to his reunion meeting.t
