Grr... I missed that when I was looking through the archives for 
information on the dementors.  Thank you very much for the 
information. That suggests, then, that these (whatever they are) were 
not created by Lord Thingy or the MoM.  Why would the Ministry create 
something so awful, especially something that grows in decay, which 
cannot be controlled?

Have an action-packed, fun-filled night,

(still wondering why the MoM would ever put the Dementors in charge 
of Azkaban if they'd ever been loyal to Voldemort)
