Richelle pondered:

Some speculations.

They were getting kinda hungry having to hang out
around the edges of Hogwarts and given the least bit
of permission to be on the grounds--going after black-- 
they kinda went nuts and were going to go after anyone
and everyone that was there.

OR

They were working with LV.  They may know Harry
was part of his downfall, and it's a vengeance thing.

The dementors were driven off by Harry version 2.0's Patronus.

Snape came to about the time that happened, magicked up
some stretchers and took the Trio up to the hospital wing.

Then Laila asked:

Precisely how they communicate with wizards isn't
really discussed in the book IIRC, but since they can
be given orders, presumably there is some sort of 
communication/language that works with them.
