Dementors

I suppose being soulless really depends on the definition of a soul 
in the first place.  However, I think the Dementors are creatures, 
certainly magical.  Living entities, in other words.  There are 
people who feed off of the energy and emotions of others; these kinds 
of people are called psychic vampires.  I myself have dealt with 
these people.  They instinctively go to places of activity and where 
there is an emotional charge.  It boosts them, gives them energy 
while draining those around them.  Most psychic vampires have no idea 
what they are doing.  Is it so far-fetched to think of the Dementors 
in the same light?  They prey on energy, emotions.  I tend to view 
them as simple preadators.  Cunning, certainly, and able to be 
somewhat domesticated and trained, but predators nonetheless.  Just 
my thoughts.

Melanie mused:

> Wow that is a good theory a "souless person" I mean as evil and 
disspassionate and scarry those dementors are it would seem to me 
that they lack a soul.  We are never really told what a dementor 
would be.  Perhaps, they are souless ghosts...
