Harry is not necessarily unaffected by the boggart/dementor in the maze:

"Harry could hear its rattling breath; he felt clammy coldness 
stealing over him, but knew what he had to do...." (GOF, p. 623, US 
paperback version)

Harry only realized that the dementor was, in fact, a boggart because 
his patronus made the dementor stumble a little, and he had never 
seen a dementor stumble.
