[HPforGrownups] The Dementors

Why do the Dementors affect Harry so badly?  Well, in PoA, someone (I think 
Lupin, but I'm not referring to the book, so don't shoot me) tells Harry 
that the reason he is affected so badly by the Dementors is because he has 
such bad things in his past.  Lets face it - he witnessed the death of his 
parents.  Admittedly, he was only a baby, but I think the Dementors have the 
capacity to drudge up memories that have long since been assigned to the 
subconcious.  So, why is Harry so badly affected?  Simply because he is the 
only person who actually saw his parents die.
