I think this is an interesting idea.  Who are the characters who 
react the most strongly to the dementors?  (This is being judged on 
the basis of who is mentioned as reacting strongly.)  Well, there is 
Harry who passes out cold.  Neville, who is terrified.  Then you have 
Ginny, who shakes like mad (but with the whole Riddle/diary/Chamber 
of Secrets debacle, I am sure she has some nasty memories), 
and...dum, dum, da, dum, Draco.  He nearly wets himself, according to 
the Weasley twins.  Hummm, wonder what horrors are in Draco's 
memory??  Interesting.  Everyone else says that they are horrible and 
make them feel as if they will be unhappy forever, but are able to 
control themselves to an extent.
