--lana lovegood here:

I think it's interesting that she became much more accurate when 
describing what she FELT in regard to the dementors then when 
describing what they looked like....We know that muggles feel the 
presence of dementors but cannot see them.  So I believe she didn't 
actually see them, but (like muggles) could feel their presence while 
(unlike muggles) she knew what was causing it.
