That *is* a very interesting thought, honestly, I
never looked at the problem from this point of view.
In other words, the more sensitive you are, the easier
Dementors get at you.
OTOH, I can't imagine Fudge not having *any* happy
thoughts at all. He certainly is a very down-to-earth
person, but has his weak points, too. Think of his
bristling up when Dumbledore suggest what he might do
in order to prevent V. from getting allies (dementors,
giants): There Fudge litterally freaks out. So I guess
being minister means some kind of happiness for him.

Fudge most probably isn't *evil*, but, as you said so
very well, he just can't imagine that Voldemort might
come back. In fact, Fudge, more than a wizard,seems to
be a Muggle as Mr. Weasley describes them: "Wouldn't
recognize magic even if it stared right into their
face". He's the one who would just close his eyes and
pretend that what he doesn't want to see isn't there.
Which makes him indeed very dangerous, less because of
an eventual active involvement, but because he has the
power, being MoM, to block all the necessary measures
until it will be too late.
