I considered this question recently whilst plotting
out a fanfic (I didn't write it, the scenario was too
weird even for me) examining the origin and being of
Dementors.

I came to the conclusion that the Dementors are
entities created by extremes of human tragedy, events
of a magnitude great enough to distill the suffering
of thousands into a new physical form at the time
where the soul leaves the body. The Dementors are
formed of the negative aspects of experience of these
unfortunates and as such have a vacuum of good
feelings accounting for their ability to leach
positive thoughts when near humans. I simply had
difficulty in seeing how else a dementor might be
born.

I conceptualised their method of communication (and
indeed feeding) as a form of group
conciousness/experience with the ability for
telepathic communication (of sorts) with humans toward
whom they gravitate because of an innate need to try
and fill the aforementioned vacuum; after all we do
know that they are blind and that they sense the
feelings of living beings it is likely that they do
not eat in a 'normal' way either.

Those were just a few of my speculations on Dementors.
