But, booleanfox, don't tell your husband that unless he's gotten to 
the chapter where Harry realizes it's his mum he's hearing.  Or 
better yet, to the chapter where Lupin says the above.  Just tell him 
that All Will Be Explained.

Did you remember this and just didn't find it convincing?  Or had you 
forgotten?

A common theory is that Ginny looked "almost as bad as [Harry] felt" 
because she, too, was reliving a particularly horrible, and in her 
case, quite recent, experience:  being enchanted, coerced into 
various nasty things, kidnapped, and drained of strength almost to 
the point of death just a few months earlier.

I wonder what the others hear and see when the Dementors are near?  
Ron, Hermione, Neville, Draco, Fred, George?  And Lupin, who subjects 
himself to it repeatedly when training Harry?
