I think they are probably classified as beings.  From what we know of Giants, 
they are capable of intelligent speech.  I'm guessing the Dementors are as 
well - at least some form of intelligent communication.  Perhaps, unlike 
Merpeople, Centaurs, Vampires, and Hags, the Dementors and Giants did not 
want to handle their affairs separate from wizards and did not decline 
classification as beings.

I am under the impression that Boggarts are Spirits.  (Falling under the 
Spirit Division of the Dept. for Control and Regulation of Magical Creatures.)
