"IMO, it may be that the Dementors' attempt to apply "the kiss" to
Harry (toward the end of PoA) may not have been (as Fudge seems to
have assumed) an instance of their being a bit over-zealous. After
all, they don't seem to have "accidentally" gone after any
other "innocent bystanders" during all the time they were stationed
at Hogwarts. I think the Dementors, being Voldy's longtime allies,
sense that Harry is their natural enemy, and responded accordingly.
I think we'll see at least one other major Dementor attack against
Harry before the series concludes."
It was fairly convenient that Barty Jr. was silenced when he was, too.
The objection to that would be "How did the Dementors know to silence
Junior?" Any Darksider would know to whack Harry, but how did they
know enough not to let Crouch fall into Dumbeldore's hands? As you
say, they didn't "kiss" people at random. I have no doubt we'll see
the Dementors again.
BTW, your filk is hysterical. My daughters and I get lost somewhere
singing the second half of "Snape." Is there an instrmental bridge in
there? Too bad the MIDIs can't have a "follow the bouncing ball"
lyric line.
