Vold.vs. Dementors / Fudge / Flitwick

Greetings all.

I have three questions, and would be interested in any theories...


(i) Can a dementor's kiss destroy Voldemort?


(ii) Fudge's skepticism in GoF 36 (The Parting of The Ways) isn't in accord 
with PoA, chp.10:

"But what do you think he's broken out to do?" said Madam Rosmerta. "Good 
gracious, Minister, he isn't trying to rejoin You-Know-Who, is he?"
"I daresay that is his -- er -- eventual plan," said Fudge evasively. "But 
we hope to catch Black long before that. I must say, You-Know-Who alone and 
friendless is one thing... but give him back his most devoted servant, and 
I shudder to think how quickly he'll rise again...."

What is the reason of his "unbelief" in GoF 36? What his name suggests?


(iii) Is there any evidence that Flitwick is a member of the "old gang"?
He seems to be a good guy; and remember CoS, chp.11 (The Dueling Club):
"I wonder who'll be teaching us?" said Hermione as they edged into the 
chattering crowd. "Someone told me Flitwick was a dueling champion when he 
was young - maybe it'll be him."
