AUSSIE: I think it is in "Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them" 
that Dementors are said to be, not a natural creature, but a being 
devised by wizards to be used as a weapon against other wizarding 
folk. Some of the most dangerous Creatures were developed in this 
means, so there are a lot of arguements in the WW as to keeping 
Dementors in a list of Sentient Beings or not. 
Arguements may say something like, "OK, so you want to keep 
Dementors. Fine, but let's make them only 2 parts Vampire instead of 
7 ... and add a bit of something safer ... like Flubberworms."
