Dumbledore is an interesting figure isn't he?  There are so many 
things we are left to guess about or assume.  His problem with the 
Dementors is just one of them.  It could boil down simply to a 
dislike of any creature that can take away your self control via your 
soul.  Control of your future/choices seems to be a big issue with 
Dumbledore.  He emphasizes this fact with Harry whenever he gets the 
chance.  The possiblity that Dumbledore has some painful memories is 
not a hard concept to grasp given his age-but IMO, it could have 
something to do with his defeat of the previous dark lord (prior to 
Voldemort).  With three more books to go, there is a lot of room to 
fill in the gaps concerning exactly who Dumbledore is- and I for one 
am ready to find out.
