Wow...this is so obvious, I feel really dumb for not having thought of it 
sooner.  :-) What an excellent idea! That makes so much more sense than the 
dumb answer Lupin gave about them "feeding of the excitement and happiness" 
of the Quidditch match. That never made sense to me at all, because the 
Patronus is supposedly pure joy, and it *repells* Dementors, not attract 
them. So why would they be attracted to the joy of the match? And at the 
lake, one almost "kissed" Harry (had he not saved himself) for no other 
reason than that he was there.

What a wonderful perspective.  :-) Thanks!
