My understanding (possibly misguided) has always been that the
Dementor's Kiss totally annihilates the soul... In other words,
*nothing* comes to the victim after the Kiss, not even "The Next
Great Adventure"... He who a Dementor kisses can kiss sentience
goodby... Forever.  But I may be misiterpreting...
