I think I go for the idea of Dementor Reproduction - that new dementors are
made when souls are sucked out. That dovetails well with what Lupin said
when telling Harry about them in PoA:

If a dementor is soul-less, then that certainly could mean that the soul has
been sucked out.
The other thing that occured to me - maybe in Albania dementors run wild
(the Wolfie Twins' story Call of the Wild gets into the idea of wild
dementors a bit) and Voldemort had tried posessing the bodies of those whose
souls they had taken?
